Abstract
INTERSTITIAL-cell tumors of the testis constitute an interesting and relatively rare pathological entity. Tumors of the testis in themselves make up only from 0.5 to 2 per cent of all cancer in males, and the specific interstitial-cell tumor represents but 1 per cent of this total group.1 , 2 During the past few years there have been several excellent reviews in the literature,3 4 5 6 7 8 9 with a total of 46 cases reported to date. Of these, 13 have occurred in the prepubertal age group. The case reported below represents the fourteenth case occurring in a child.Normal HistologyLeydig, in 1850, first described the . . .Keywords
