title: [Leydig cell tumor: report of 8 cases and review of the literature].
abstract: Leydig cell tumor is the most frequent non-germ cell tumors of testis, included in the group of specialized gonadal stromal neoplasms. It has a low incidence, accounting for 1-3% of testicular neoplasms. This tumor is characterized by its endocrine manifestations, due to the tumor's capacity to secrete hormones. We report eight cases, including the description of their clinical, diagnosis and therapeutic features, as well as their follow-up. We also make a review of the literature about this rare testicular tumor.
