Abstract:
A 63-year-old male visited our hospital with a complaint of painless swelling of the left scrotum. Left high orchiectomy was performed since ultrasonography suggested a testicular tumor. Histologically, this testicular mass was a Leydig cell tumor. We reviewed 47 cases of this tumor previously reported in Japan.

01:27Testes: Histology
A tough, fibrous membrane, the tunica albuginea, covers the testes, extending inward to form fibrous partitions or septa, dividing them into internal compartments called lobules. Each lobule has 1 to 3 tightly coiled seminiferous tubules where sperm production occurs. These tubules merge into a tubular network at the back of the testis, known as the rete testis. It connects to 15 to 20 efferent ductules, leading to the epididymis.

Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
