    rare testicular tumor from testosterone-producing Leydig cells

    A Leydig Cell Tumor is a rare type of tumor that originates from the Leydig cells, which are found in the testes and are responsible for producing testosterone.

While most Leydig Cell Tumors are benign, a small percentage can be malignant and may require surgical removal and further treatment.
