Case Report
Metachronous Bilateral Testicular Leydig-Like Tumors Leading to the Diagnosis of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (Adrenogenital Syndrome)
Table 1
Overlapping clinical presentations, morphologies, immunophenotypes, and associated endocrinopathies for LCTs and TARTs.
| | Laterality | Gross appearance | Architecture | Cytology | Expected % cases with IHC reactivity | Expected serum ACTH | Expected serum testosterone |
| LCT | Unilateral | Intratesticular (parenchyma), solitary | Sheet-like or lobulated with fine fibrous bands | Leydig ± z. fascic. Reinke crystals in 30–40% | I 96% M 86% C 93% S < 10% | Normal | Increased |
| TART | Unilateral or Bilateral | Intratesticular (hilum), multifocal | Nodules with coarse fibrous bands | Leydig-like ± z. fascic. Reinke crystals absent | I (+) M (+) C (+) S > 88% | Increased | Increased/normal/low |
|
|
z. fascic. = similar to adrenal zona fasciculata. IHC = immunohistochemistry; I = inhibin; M = Mart-1; C = calretinin; S = synaptophysin.
