Introduction: Testicular cancers comprise 1% of all the male cancers worldwide. Various risk factors for development of testicular cancers include: a family history of testicular tumor in first degree relatives, infertility, cryptorchidism, Klinefelter's syndrome, 95% of testicular cancers arise from germ cells. Aims and objective: To study the relative incidence of testicular lesions among different age groups and to study the various histo-morpholoical patterns of testicular lesions. Materials and methods: All the patients those who are presented with testicular swelling and post orchiectomy specimens are included in this study. Results: Total testicular specimens received were 476, accounting for 1.49% of all surgical specimens. Of which 84 cases were diagnosed as tumors and tumor like lesions of testis accounting for 17.65%.
Conclusion:It is concluded that, despite new techniques in imaging and tumor marker assay the diagnosis of testicular lesions primarily dependent upon histo-pathological examination. Any testicular swelling must be evaluated thoroughly with clinic-pathological correlation to rule out malignancy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
