Sex cord-stromal (gonadal stromal) tumors of the testis account for less than 4 per cent of the testicular tumors. The Leydig cell tumor in a child may produce isosexual virilization (case 3). In the adult it may have no endocrine manifestation (case 1) or gynecomastia and decrease in libidio may result from production of estrogens (case 2). Sertoli cell tumors (case 4) and granulosa cell tumors (case5) are rare.
睾丸性索间质(性腺间质)肿瘤占睾丸肿瘤的比例不到4%。儿童的莱迪希细胞瘤可能会导致同性性早熟(病例3)。在成年人中,它可能没有内分泌表现(病例1),或者由于雌激素的产生可能导致男性乳房发育和性欲减退(病例2)。支持细胞瘤(病例4)和颗粒细胞瘤(病例5)较为罕见。
