description We report 1 case of Benign Leydig cell tumor. A 45-year-old male was admitted to the Urology department with a large painless mass in the right testis of 1 year duration. The patient underwent radical high right orchiectomy, with a preliminary diagnosis of right testicular tumor. On the basis of the pathologic and immunohistochemical findings, the testicular mass was diagnosed as a benign Leydig cell tumor. Long-term follow-up is necessary to exclude recurrence or metastasis and also the endocrine profile and imaging investigations need to be repeated periodically.
