Leydig-cell tumours of the testis are rare and usually benign in children. The possibility of metachronous bilateral tumours should be considered not only for testicular teratomas but also in the follow up of a Leydig-cell tumour. Testis-sparing surgery is feasible and safe in prepubertal boys after exclusion of a malignant tumour.
睾丸间质细胞瘤在儿童中较为罕见，通常为良性。不仅在儿童生殖细胞瘤的随访中，而且在睾丸间质细胞瘤的随访中，都应考虑到同时发生双侧肿瘤的可能性。对于青春期前的男孩，在排除恶性肿瘤后，可行保留睾丸的手术，且安全可行。
