Objective:
To determine the diagnostic usefulness of MRI in the diagnosis of Leydig cell testicular tumor.
Methods/Results:
Male patient consulting for infertility. Testicular ultrasound and MRI were performed. Testicular MRI showed a hypointense lesion in T2 powered sequences with intense, homogeneous enhance after contrast administration.
Conclusions:
MRI is considered an excellent diagnostic test for the management of patients with testicular diseases of difficult diagnosis on ultrasound, contributing to define the lesion, a Leydig cell testicular tumor in this case.
