Abstract:
Leydig's cells tumours are a variant of testicular tumours. Its has a low incidence, accounting for just 1-3% of all testicular tumours. This tumour is characterized by its endocrine manifestations, and it is an element in the differential diagnosis of many endocrine sexual dysfunctions both in adults and children, due to the tumour's capacity to secrete hormones. This paper contributes 5 cases of Leydig's cells tumours diagnosed in our hospital between 1977 and 1993.
