Abstract

In a series of 141 patients treated over the last ten years for testicular tumour, 15 presented lesions considered to be rare: 9 Leydig cell tumours, 3 epidermoid cysts, 1 leiomyoma, 1 primary testicular lymphoma and one testicular localisation of a known leukaemia. The clinical, endocrine and histological features of these different tumours are reviewed on the basis of the present series and a wider discussion of other rare testicular tumours. Leydig cell tumours, epidermoid cysts, mature benign teratomas and testicular lymphomas are the most frequent. Leiomyomas, metastatic tumours and connective tissue tumours are exceptional. Sertoli cell tumours are rare and are similar to Leydig cell tumours in that they raise problems concerning their possible endocrine activity and the evaluation of their malignant potential. The general therapeutic rule of radical orchidectomy for any testicular tumour is still valid.
