Abstract

The ultrastructure of Leydig cell hyperplasia is described. The hyperplastic Leydig cells differ morphologically from normal Leydig cells as well as from Leydig tumor cells. They have less smooth endoplasmic reticulum and less lipofuscin pigment in their cytoplasm, and the nuclear membrane shows more irregular indentations than normal Leydig cells. It is suggested that electron microscopy might be useful in the differential diagnosis between Leydig cell hyperplasia, Leydig cell tumors, and normal Leydig cells.

摘要

描述了睾丸间质细胞增生的超微结构。增生的睾丸间质细胞在形态上既不同于正常睾丸间质细胞，也不同于睾丸间质细胞瘤细胞。它们的细胞质中滑面内质网较少，脂褐素色素较少，并且核膜比正常睾丸间质细胞显示出更多不规则的凹陷。提示电子显微镜检查可能有助于睾丸间质细胞增生、睾丸间质细胞瘤和正常睾丸间质细胞之间的鉴别诊断。
