BOUIN and ANCEL (1904) were the first to suggest hormonal activity of the cells and at present time it is believed that both the testicular interstitial cells and the adrenal cortex are two major androgen sources of the body. Although their cytomorphology at light-optical level has been described in detail by STIEVE (1930), MUSSE EN (1932) and SNIFPEN (1950), a dynamic morphological analysis of their hormon secretion has been only lately attempted by means of electron microscopy and cytochemistry. There have been several investigations on the ultrastructure of the testicular interstitial cells of man, rat, rabbit and opossum. However, a fine structural study of the cells in human beings under various endocrinological status has not been reported until now. In order to understand the cytological changes in response to functional alteration on the whole, the author examined human biopsy materials from a series representing varying ages and diseases referring to the hormonal and clinical findings.
