title: [Leydig cell tumor: report of 2 cases].
abstract: Tumors from the gonadal stroma represent 4% among testicular tumors. Leydig cell tumors are the most common neoplasms among them and account for 1-3% of all testicular tumors. Two cases of testicular Leydig cell tumors in adult patients are presented. Presentation, diagnosis and therapeutic aspects are discussed. Both were treated with radical orchiectomy through an inguinal approach. Cas 1 was diagnosed in a cryptorchid testis and developed hepatic metastasis that were successfully treated with chemotherapy. Cas 2 was incidentally diagnosed on ultrasound. Both of them remain alive and free of disease.
