Diagnosis And Management

Bilobed testicle is an extremely rare testicular malformation inchildren. It may be presumed that this condition could be an incompleteexpression of polyorchidism; however, the etiology of bothentities remains unknown. In this report, a 3-year-old boy presentedwith a right bilobed testicle mimicking a testicular tumour. Sincethere are insufficient data in the pediatric literature presenting theideal management of bilobed testicles, we believe it is importantto report this case to provide more information about this condition.Although rare, bilobed testis should be considered in the differentialdiagnosis of a testicular mass. Surgical treatment is notmandatory, and conservative follow-up may play a role.

Abstract Background Testicular tumours are uncommon in children, accounting for only 1% of all childhood tumours. Prepubertal Leydig cell tumours actively secrete testosterone and as a result, patients typically present with isosexual precocious pseudopuberty, this being the first cause of consultation. We present three cases of Leydig cell tumours in prepubertal patients with an atypical presentation. Methods We studied three cases of Leydig cell tumours in prepubertal boys, who either consulted for testicular asymmetry or were incidentally found to have the tumour in the absence of systemic signs of systemic hyperandrogenism or precocious puberty. In all cases, a well-circumscribed testicular mass was found by testicular ultrasound. The diagnosis was confirmed by histology. In all three cases, testicular enucleation was performed with satisfactory follow-up. Results Following the surgical procedure, during the follow-up, all patients showed a normal testicular volume in comparison with the contralateral testis. No complications were seen during follow-up. Conclusions A testicular ultrasound in children developing asymptomatic testicular asymmetry might be recommended due to its possible hormonal action locally. An early testicular ultrasound, testicular swelling discrepancies, tumour size and androgen production are key factors in the prognosis and management of this type of tumour.

Leydig Cell Tumour

Certain testicular tumours may present with gynaecomastia1–3. Rarely in these cases is the testicular tumour not palpable at the initial clinical examination or at follow-up examinations. To enable early detection of these occult testicular tumours a serum hormonal profile followed by high resolution ultrasound examination of the testes are necessary3–7. We report a case of a Leydig cell tumour in which gynaecomastia antedated the clinical presence of a testicular swelling by 7 months.
