A 69-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital for a left inguinal testicular tumor and paraaortic lymph node swelling and pleural dissemination. A left orchiectomy was performed in October 2013. Histologically, this testicular tumor was a malignant Leydig cell tumor. The antineoplastic agent mitotan was administered after the orchiectomy.
