Abstract
The use of the terminology Sertoli Cell Only Syndrome should be confin ed to its classic definition (ie; total absence of germinal cells) whe n reporting the results of a testicular biopsy, since with intracytopl asmic sperm microinjection (ICSI) the presence of any mature sperm in a histological section may mean that the patient has a chance of using his own gametes for attempted pregnancy.
