Summary A case of a malignant Sertoli cell tumour (androblastoma) of the testis in a Hindu male aged 33 is reported. A table summarises the features of 8 malignant Sertoli cell tumours of the testis previously recorded in the world literature. In the present case the local appearances were deceptively benign and gynaecomastia persisted after apparently satisfactory control of tumour growth.
