Both Leydig cell tumor (LCT), which is a sex cord-stromal tumor, and spermatocytic tumor (ST), which is a germ cell tumor, are rare testicular tumors. Synchronous LCT and ST in the unilateral testis are extremely rare because of their different origins. Herein, we report the case of an 84-year-old male patient with right scrotal swelling due to a testicular tumor. His age was out of the onset peak age of LCT but within ST. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case with synchronous LCT and ST in the unilateral testis.
间质细胞瘤(LCT)是一种性索间质肿瘤,精母细胞瘤(ST)是一种生殖细胞肿瘤,二者均为罕见的睾丸肿瘤。由于起源不同,单侧睾丸同时发生LCT和ST极为罕见。在此,我们报告一例84岁男性患者,因睾丸肿瘤导致右侧阴囊肿胀。他的年龄超出了LCT的发病高峰年龄,但在ST的发病年龄范围内。据我们所知,这是首例单侧睾丸同时发生LCT和ST的病例。
