Leydig Cell Tumor of the Testis: A Case with Incidental Diagnosis
Journal Title: Journal of Urological Surgery - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Leydig cell tumors account for approximately 1-3% of adult testicular tumors. These tumors are the most common type of gonadal stromal tumors and most commonly seen in the third to sixth decades of life, and about 10% of them are malignant. This case is about an incidentally diagnosed Leydig cell testis tumor in a patient who was investigated for primary infertility. A 28-year-old male patient presented with primary infertility and scrotal ultrasonography examination revealed a heterogeneous hypoechoic mass in the left testicle. He underwent left radical orchiectomy and pathological diagnosis was testicular Leydig cell tumor. There was no distant metastasis and the patient is being followed for metastasis.
