dc.description.abstractLight and electronmicroscopic study of a Leydig cell testicular tumor in an 18-year-old male is presented. Bilateral gynaecomastia and normal hormonal blood levels were found. Emphasis on the diagnostic value of electronmicroscopy is remarked upon, based on the following ultrastructural characteristics of the cells; 1) Ovoid shaped nuclei with ondulating contours and dispersed and homogeneous chromatin, 2) Rich agranular endoplasmic reticulum with frequent special modifications, such as membranous whorls with a central cytoplasmic mass or lipid droplets, 3) Numerous mitochondria with occasional tubular cristae, 4) Numerous lipid vacuoles. Other structures also identified in this tumor are Reinke crystalloids, cytoplasmic microbodies, myelin figures, gap-type junctional complexes and paracrystalline inclusions of Payer type E, which are less common.es
