Abstract
Sertoli cell tumor is a rare tumor of the testis, with a good prognosi s following orchiectomy in the pediatric patient. Sonography of such a tumor in a 5-year-old boy revealed diffuse inhomogeneous increase in echogenicity in an enlarged left testicle. The increased echogenicity of the testicle reflected the dense collagenous matrix of the lesion.
