Leydig cell testicular tumors are very rare in children and cause isosexual precocious puberty. Palpable testicular mass or asymmetric testes are common findings on routine examination. We report on a 5-yr-old boy with a Leydig cell tumor of the testis presented with isosexual precocious puberty but no scrotal palpable mass. To our knowledge, this is the first reported Leydig cell tumor in a boy without palpable scrotal mass.
睾丸间质细胞瘤在儿童中非常罕见,可导致同性性早熟。常规检查中常见的体征是可触及的睾丸肿块或睾丸不对称。我们报告一例5岁男孩,患有睾丸间质细胞瘤,表现为同性性早熟,但阴囊未触及肿块。据我们所知,这是首例报道的无阴囊可触及肿块的男孩睾丸间质细胞瘤。
