A 24-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with the complaint of a painless mass in the left testis. Gynecomastia was not present. The serum levels of alpha fetoprotein and human chorionic gonadotropin-beta were not elevated. Ultrasound sonography showed a hypoechoic lesion in the left testis. There was no evidence of retroperitoneal lymph node enlargement or distant metastasis on computerized tomography. With a diagnosis of left testicular tumor, left high orchiectomy was done. The tumor measured 10 x 11 mm in size within the testis and was histologically diagnosed as benign Sertoli cell tumor. Immunohistochemcal analysis revealed negative findings with the tumor markers inhibin, CAM 5.2, pancytokeratin, EMA, and PLAP. No adjuvant therapy was performed. Twenty-six cases of Sertoli cell tumor of the testis in the Japanese literature are reviewed.

Myofibroblastoma of the breast is a rare benign neoplasm, which has rarely been reported in association with gynecomastia. We report a case of a 25-year-old male patient with an epithelioid myofibroblastoma arising in a context of bilateral gynecomastia. The lesion was composed of nests and cords of epithelioid cells, with round to oval nuclei, granular chromatin, and distinct nucleoli dispersed in a myxoid to collagenous stroma with marked vascular proliferation. Immunohistochemical profile showed diffuse positivity for vimentin and focal immunoreactivity for desmin, whereas cytokeratins (CAM5.2 and AE1/AE3), EMA, alpha smooth muscle actin, actin HHF35, CEA, S100, factor VIII, neuron-specific enolase, CD31, and CD34 were all negative. We emphasize that this diagnosis is difficult to establish, owing to the rarity of this variant and clinical presentation.
