[Leydig cell tumor. Report of 2 cases and review of the literature].
The Leydig cell tumor is the most frequent of non-germ cell tumors of the testis. Clinical findings depend on the age of presentation. We present two cases of Leydig Cell tumors of the testis, diagnosed in a 8 years old child with isosexual precocity, and a 42 years old adult with Gynaecomastia. After reviewing the existing literature on this uncommon pathology we consider that the iconography presented is very interesting for furthering the knowledge on this subject.
