Abstract
The successful surgical removal of a feminizing interstitial cell tumor of the testis [human] is described. The high estradiol, progesterone and prolactin levels fell after surgery and the suppressed testosterone. FSH [follitropin] and LH [lutropin] recovered. Estrogen secretion by the tumor could explain most of the observed hormonal changes.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
