Sertoli cell tumours are primary neoplasms of the testis which arise from the supporting cells within the seminiferous tubules. This report describes a case of tumour of the Sertoli cells in carp. The diagnosis of Sertoli cell tumour is supported by the histopathological features, the characteristic presence of Charcot-Böttcher crystals visualised in immature Sertoli cellsby electron microscopy and the immunohistochemical positive reaction for neurospecific enolase (NSE) and inhibin a
