Hyperandrogenism secondary to testicular cancer typically arises in patients in whom Leydig cell hyperplasia or neoplasia can be identified. Additionally, benign and malignant adrenocortical tumors can also present with signs and symptoms of hyperandrogenism. We report a case of a 40-year-old gentleman who experienced several months of weight gain, worsening gynecomastia, and mood changes secondary to high testosterone and estradiol levels. Workup initially was negative for testicular malignancy and positive for a benign-appearing lesion in the adrenal gland. Despite adrenalectomy, symptoms continued to persist and ultimately a testicular cancer without Leydig cell involvement was identified.
继发于睾丸癌的高雄激素血症通常出现在可识别出Leydig细胞增生或肿瘤形成的患者中。此外,良性和恶性肾上腺皮质肿瘤也可表现出高雄激素血症的体征和症状。我们报告一例40岁男性患者,因睾酮和雌二醇水平升高,经历了数月体重增加、男性乳房增生加重及情绪变化。初步检查睾丸恶性肿瘤为阴性,肾上腺有一个外观良性的病变为阳性。尽管进行了肾上腺切除术,症状仍持续存在,最终确诊为无Leydig细胞受累的睾丸癌。
