Abstract
The presence of early granular changes in Sertoli cells in childhood and pubertal cryptorchidic patients, associated with other developmental alterations, suggests an intense and irreversible dysfunction of phagocytosis in the granular Sertoli cells. These alterations might be considered primary and irreversible anomalies of Sertoli cells, which might be contributing factors in the infertility seen in these patients.
