Department of Pathology, Legnano General Hospital, Italy.

We report a case of Leydig cell tumor of the testis in a young man, in whom preoperative diagnosis was achieved by fine-needle aspiration biopsy cytology. Cytology, histology, and ultrastructural examination showed diagnostic Reinke's crystals, both in nuclei and in cytoplasm. Immunohistochemistry displayed strong vimentin and estrogen positivity.

D007984 Leydig Cell Tumor Gonadal interstitial or stromal cell neoplasm composed of only LEYDIG CELLS. These tumors may produce one or more of the steroid hormones such as ANDROGENS; ESTROGENS; and CORTICOSTEROIDS. Clinical symptoms include testicular swelling, GYNECOMASTIA, sexual precocity in children, or virilization (VIRILISM) in females.
