Urinary 17-ketosteroid excretion increased to exceedingly high levels. Urinary estrogens were markedly increased whereas pituitary gonadotropins were undetectable at 6.6 mouse units. 17-Hydroxysteroids remained normal until four months prior to death. Hypertension developed about fifteen months prior to death, which occurred five years after removal of the original tumor and three years after the first evidence of intra-abdominal metastatic disease. Case 2 was operated on successfully and the patient is in apparent good health ten years after surgery. INTERSTITIAL-CELL tumors of the testis are relatively rare. They comprised only 1.2 per cent of Dixon and Moore's (1) series of 990 testicular tumors. Generally these tumors are benign. However, in a recent survey of the literature, Dalgaard and Hesselberg (2) tabulated ov... |
