Sažetak
Within Leydig cells, a moderate presence of Reinke’ s crystals could be seen. The vast majority of the crystals were located within the cytoplasm of Leydig cells. However, the crystals (a much smaller form) could be observed in the nucleus of these cells. In the cases of non-obstructive azoospermia, most of the cases presented a “ mixed atrophy” of seminiferous tubules. In these samples, it seemed that the number of Reinke’ s crystals was somehow reduced. Cryptorchid testes displayed (in the vast majority of cases) a histological picture of “ Sertoli cells only syndrome” . Interestingly, in these samples, an abundant presence of Reinke’ s crystals could be found.
