Resumo: Gynecomastia is a frequent sign that may be physiological or caused by various benign or malignant diseases. In rare cases, it may be caused by testicular tumors. We describe a case of progressive gynecomastia at age 20 due to a Leydig cell tumor of the right testicle in a patient with a previous history of left-sided cryptorchidism. The patient underwent orchidectomy and testicular prosthesis placement, with subsequent improvement of gynecomastia and normalization of estrogen. Our case, in addition to demonstrating that gynecomastia may regress if the underlying cause is treated in a timely manner, shows that cryptorchidism may be related with the development of Leydig cell tumors in the same way as it is in other testicular tumors.

Em casos raros pode ser originada por tumores testiculares. Nós descrevemos um caso de ginecomastia de início rapidamente progressivo aos 20 anos por um tumor de células de Leydig do testículo direito em doente com história pregressa de criptorquidia esquerda. O doente foi submetido a orquidectomia e colocação de prótese testicular assistindo-se a melhoria da ginecomastia e normalização dos valores de estrogénio. O nosso caso, além de demonstrar que a ginecomastia pode regredir se a causa subjacente for tratada atempadamente, mostra que a criptorquidia poderá estar associada ao aparecimento de tumores de células de Leydig à semelhança do que acontece com outros tumores testiculares.Ordem dos Médicos2021-02-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfimage/jpegapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/11882oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/11882Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 34 No. 2 (2021): February; 137-139Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 34 N.º 2 (2021): Fevereiro; 137-1391646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/11882https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/11882/6133https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/11882/11151https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/11882/11152https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/11882/11153https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/11882/11161https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/11882/12924Direitos de Autor (c) 2020 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCapitão, RicardoSaraiva, CatarinaCunha, ClaraMartins, Mónica2022-12-20T11:06:25Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/11882Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:20:06.034920Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
