Interstitial cell tumors

Click here for surgeons of gynecomastia surgery at hospitals of Chennai in India. Interstitial cell tumors, or Leydig cell tumors constitute 1%-3% of all testis tumors. Usually, they occur in men between the ages of 20 and 60, although up to 25% of them occur prepubertally. In prepubertal cases, isosexual precocity, rapid somatic growth, and increased bone age with elevated serum testosterone and urinary 17-ketosteroid levels are the presenting features. In adults, elevated estrogen levels coupled with a palpable testicular mass and gynecomastia may develop. Though mostly benign, Leydig cell tumors may be malignant and metastasize to lung, liver, and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Medical tourism is dedicated to making your medical travel vacation for surgeons of gynecomastia surgery at hospitals of Chennai in India as pleasant, comfortable, safe, and affordable as possible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tumors

Patients will benefit from well-trained, multi-language personnel, convenient transportation during surgery by surgeons of gynecomastia at hospitals of Delhi in India. The hospital provides clean and high-class accommodations, state-of-the-art medical equipment and excellent service. Testicular tumors can lead to increased blood estrogen levels by: estrogen overproduction; androgen overproduction with aromatization in the periphery to estrogens; and by ectopic secretion of gonadotropins which stimulate otherwise normal Leydig cells. Tumors causing an overproduction of estrogen represent an unusual but important cause of estrogen excess. Examples of estrogen-secreting tumors include: Leydig cell tumors, Sertoli cell tumors, granulosa cell tumors and adrenal tumors.

Pathologic gynecomastia

Increased estrogen

Since the development of breast tissue in males occurs in an analogous manner to that in females, the same hormones that affect female breast tissue can cause gynecomastia. The testes secrete only 6-10 mg of estradiol and 2.5 mg of estrone per day. Since this only comprises a small fraction of estrogens in circulation (i.e. 15% of estradiol and 5% of estrone), the remainder of estrogen in males is derived from the extraglandular aromatization of testosterone and androstenedione to estradiol and estrone, respectively. Thus, any cause of estrogen excess from overproduction to peripheral aromatization of androgens can initiate the cascade to breast development.

Estrogen levels

International patients are coming for surgeons of gynecomastia surgery at hospitals of Bangalore in India in major industrialized cities. For instance, investigators have shown increased urinary estrogen levels in obese individuals, and have demonstrated aromatase expression in adipose tissue. Thus, like the gynecomastia of obesity, the gynecomastia of aging may partly result from increased aromatase activity, causing increased circulating estrogen levels. Moreover, not only does total body fat increase with age, but there may be an increase in aromatase activity in the adipose tissue already present, increasing circulating estrogens even further. Lastly, SHBG increases with age in men. Since SHBG binds estrogen with less affinity than testosterone, the bioavailable estradiol to bioavailable testosterone ratio may increase in the obese older male.
