NCIt definition : A benign or malignant tumor that arises from the testis. It is composed of granulosa
cells, Leydig cells, Sertoli cells, and fibroblasts. Each of these cell types may
constitute the only cellular component that is present in the tumor or it may be mixed
with other cell types in various combinations. The prognosis can not always be predicted
on histologic grounds alone. Approximately, ten percent of these tumors may metastasize.
Representative examples include granulosa cell tumor, Leydig cell tumor, Sertoli cell
tumor, and tumors of the thecoma-fibroma group.;
