Abstract

Objective: An additional case of testicular Leydig cell tumor in a young man is reported. The clinical presentation included gynecomastia and a testicular mass.

Methods/results: Hormonal studies, testicular US and high resolution MRI were performed before orchidectomy. The histopathological findings were consistent with Leydig cell tumor. A CT scan revealed no metastasis. The patient is clinically disease-free 18 months after orchidectomy.

Conclusion: High resolution MRI must be performed only when clinic and US findings are discordant.
