| Abstrakt: | Objectives: An uncommon case of clinically occult Leydig cell tumor of the testis is described. The literature is reviewed with special reference to the difficulty encountered in making the diagnosis. Methods/results: The clinical data of a patient with occult Leydig cell tumor of the testis, whose only remarkable feature was a long history of gynecomastia, are presented. Conclusions: A hormonal study and scrotal ultrasound evaluation are essential in the diagnosis of this tumor type and should be performed even in the absence of testicular anomalies on palpation. |
