What are the Symptoms of Leydig Cell Tumors in Children?
Symptoms can vary but often include testicular enlargement or a palpable mass in the scrotum. In some cases, due to the hormone secretion by the tumor, children may exhibit signs of precocious puberty, such as early development of secondary sexual characteristics like pubic hair, deepening of the voice, and increased muscle mass. Some children might also experience gynecomastia due to the estrogen production by the tumor.
