A rare case of malignant Leydig cell tumour of the testis is presented. There was no standard therapy regimen. Leydig cell carcinoma is relatively refractory to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. So a retroperitoneal node dissection should be performed before or after chemotherapy for staging and also for therapeutic reasons.
