 AB    We report a case of Leydig-cell testicular tumour in a 32-year-old
       intravenous drug abuser bearing HIV-infection and pulmonary
       tuberculosis. The testicular mass was initially interpreted as genital
       tuberculosis and the diagnosis was made by aspiration cytology. Radical
       orchiectomy was performed and pathology revealed a Leydig-cell tumour.
       Gynecomastia was found as a possible sign of endocrine activity.
       Although testicular malignancies in men with human immunodeficiency
       virus are increasingly reported, this is the first case of Leydig-cell
       neoplasia associated to HIV-infection.
