Leydig cell hyperplasia mimicking testicular neoplasm

Urology. 1996 Oct;48(4):647-9. doi: 10.1016/S0090-4295(96)00222-1.

Abstract

Patients with extragonadal seminoma are at high risk of developing a primary testicular neoplasm many years after the initial diagnosis and therapy. Therefore, long-term follow-up is critical in the proper management of these patients. We present the first case of Leydig cell hyperplasia, mimicking a testicular neoplasm, 21 years after diagnosis and treatment of extragonadal seminoma.
