Leydig cell tumors represent 3% of testicular masses and usually occur in prepubertal boys and men between 30 and 60 years of age. Leydig cell tumors are benign in children but can be malignant in 10% of adults. This case report describes a 41-year-old patient who was diagnosed with a Leydig cell tumor that originated in his right testicle that subsequently metastasized to his liver, lungs, and retroperitoneum. We discuss the patient’s presentation and review the radiographic findings, surgical treatment, surgical pathology, chemotherapeutic treatment, and published literature on this rare pathology.

Abstract Although not required for the diagnosis, crystalloids of Reinke are pathognomonic for Leydig cell tumor. However, conventional frozen section rarely reveals their presence. A method of rapid identification of crystalloids of Reinke could improve the intraoperative diagnosis. We tested the efficacy of touch imprints and scrape smears for the identification of crystalloids in 2 cases of Leydig cell tumor of the testis. Intraoperative smears of the tumors yielded abundant crystals. Scrape cytologic testing was the better method. We speculate that the process of scraping, and to a lesser extent touch imprinting, disrupts the cytoplasm of the Leydig cells and releases the crystalloids. We conclude that cytologic testing is an effective method of identifying crystalloids of Reinke in Leydig cell tumors of the testis.

Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors arise from the stromal cells that surround and support the oocytes. Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors belong to this category of ovarian neoplasms. We present the case of a 38-year-old woman who was found to have a right ovarian mass. The mass was resected and diagnosed as Stage I Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, retiform variant, following histopathologic and immunohistochemical examination. This case is unusual given the rarity of the retiform variant of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor and the atypically older age of 38 years at presentation.
