Leydig cell tumors (LCTs) are rare testicular neoplasms, representing 1-3% of all testicular tumors. A 65-year-old male presented with a painless left scrotal mass. Ultrasound revealed a 61 × 53 × 35 mm tumor with heterogeneous echogenicity and abundant blood supply. Radical orchidectomy was performed, and immunohistochemistry confirmed LCT with positivity for Inhibin A and calretinin, and negativity for CK, chromogranin, LCA, and low Ki67. Postoperative follow-up at 6 months showed improved condition, no scrotal masses, and normal tumor markers. Finally, LCTs in older males require differential diagnosis; hormonal activity impacts presentation. Conservative management and monitoring are crucial.
睾丸间质细胞瘤(LCTs)是一种罕见的睾丸肿瘤,占所有睾丸肿瘤的1%-3%。一名65岁男性因左侧阴囊无痛性肿块就诊。超声检查发现一个61×53×35mm的肿瘤,回声不均匀,血供丰富。行根治性睾丸切除术,免疫组化证实为LCT,抑制素A和钙视网膜蛋白呈阳性,细胞角蛋白、嗜铬粒蛋白、淋巴细胞共同抗原呈阴性,Ki67低表达。术后6个月随访显示病情好转,无阴囊肿块,肿瘤标志物正常。最后,老年男性的LCTs需要鉴别诊断;激素活性会影响临床表现。保守治疗和监测至关重要。
