Dear Dr. Bedrossian: Leydig (interstitial) cell tumors are rare neoplasms accounting for 1-3% of all testicular tumors. Only 10% of these neoplasms will demonstrate malignant behavior, characterized by metastases to retroperitoneal lymph nodes, lung, and liver. While rare primary Leydig cell tumors
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) has been used with high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of both Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, studies of FNAB of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) are rare. The clinical course of 593 allograft recipients (cardiac,
