Abstract

Leydig cell tumour is a commonly discerned sex cord stromal tumour arising within testes. Previously designated as interstitial cell tumour, the cellular tumefaction recapitulates non neoplastic Leydig cells. Nearly < 10% neoplasms appear overtly malignant. Neoplasm represents with diffuse or nodular pattern of tumour evolution. Constituent polygonal cells are pervaded with abundant, granular, eosinophilic cytoplasm, uniform spherical nuclei and prominent centric nucleoli. Intracytoplasmic Reinke’s crystals may be discerned.
