Feminizing testicle. Light micrograph of tissue from a feminizing testicle. This is usually caused by a disorder of the Leydig cells that normally produce testosterone to stimulate sperm production in the seminiferous tubules (round structures). In a feminizing testicle, female hormones are being produced. Leydig cells are interstitial cells that are found in the interstices of the tissues of the testicles.
