[Mid-term and long-term outcome in Leydig cell estrogen tumors].
A study has been realized in six patients with estrogen secreting Leydig cell tumors from 18 to 120 months after hemicastration. Testicular contralateral volume is normalized, gynecomastia can be completely reduced, sex steroids are normalized while gonadotropins can be temporary increased. Spermogram which is abnormal can be normalized. These results confirm the heterogeneity of these tumors.
