Definition (free text, please give PubMed ID)
A histological phenotype observed on testicular biopsy in which only Sertoli cells line the seminiferous tubules of the testis.
Comment: Sertoli cells are found in the convoluted seminiferous tubules and form part of the blood-testis barrier in males. With Sertoli cell-only phenotype, spermatogenic cells, which are normally located in between the Seroli cells, are absent.
