The interstitial region appeared to have only a few fusiform cells that appeared to be immature Leydig cells (Figure 3), a finding which is consistent with LCH phenotypes and confirmed the diagnosis of LCH.

This correlation could be the result of the higher circulating leptin levels observed in obese or overweight men leading to a decreased testosterone production by Leydig cells, which is able to interfere with the normal cycle of spermatogenesis [15].
