[Interstitial-cell tumor of the testicle. A case report].

Pediatr Med Chir

Div. Chirurgia Pediatria, Ospedale Regionale Vicenza, Italia.

Published: April 1991

The authors introduce the case of a seven-years-old patient suffering from a tumor of the Leydig cells testicle, which is a pathological entity rare to be found during pediatric age. The clinical history is characterised by the absence of any endocrine phenomena, such as precocious pseudopuberty, which are usually linked to the presence of a "Leydigoma". Surgical therapy, in connection with the described constant evolution that favours such lesions during pediatric age, with the absence of any cellular anomaly which is typical of a malignant case and lastly, with the clear delimitation of the tumor from the healthy testicular parenchyma, has so far restricted itself to the enucleation alone, without orchiectomy.
