Background: Testicular Lesions are common in males of all age groups. The lesions range from Benign to malignant. The treatment is different for different histologic subtypes. Objective: The aim of this study is to study the spectrum of testicular lesions in orchidectomy specimens and their clinical presentation. Materials and Methods: This is a three and a half year retrospective study on hundred Orchidectomy cases from January 2015 to June 2018 conducted in the Post graduate department of Pathology Govt. Medical College Srinagar. Histopathological examination was done after routine processing and staining with Haematoxylin and Eosin. Results: Non-neoplastic lesions of the testis are most common in the second decade of the life while malignancy is common in 3rd decade of life.

Unilateral involvement is more common than the bilateral involvement; particularly right sided involvement is common than the left side involvement. Non-neoplastic lesions were (70%) were more common than the neoplastic lesions (30%) of testis. Out of non-neoplastic lesions, cryptorchid testis was most common findings (42.8%) followed by torsion and infarction (22.8%). Among the neoplastic lesions malignant lesions (56.6%) are more common than the benign lesions (43.3%). Out of all neoplastic lesions, mature teratoma is the most common finding (43.3%) in the present study.
