Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
Sertoli cell tumor of the testis (SCTT) accounts for less than 1% of all testicular tumors with only 10% of cases exhibiting malignant behavior. In the present report, a case of malignant SCTT causing multiple metastases in a 32-year-old man is described. After being diagnosed and treated for bone and lymph nodes metastases, the patient presented with a brief history of worsening headaches and visual impairment. A head MRI demonstrated an extra-axial tumor located in the right fronto-parietal junction exhibiting avid contrast enhancement and leptomeningeal involvement. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this represents the second case of intracranial metastasis from SCTT described to date.
