Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Testis is an important component of male reproductive system and is responsible for reproductive and endocrine functions. It is vulnerable to trauma, torsion and various other diseases including malignancy thus making early diagnosis and management a life saver in many conditions. The present study aimed to study the incidence and histopathology of various testicular lesions at department of Pathology, Government Medical College and Hospital, Miraj, Maharashtra, for a period of five years. The clinical details of each case were noted. The gross and microscopic examinations were done. In the present study, 103 cases with a total of 112 lesions i.e. 9 patients had bilateral lesions were studied. Non-neoplastic lesions were 104 (92.86%) and neoplastic lesions were 8 (7.14%). The youngest patient was of 5 years and oldest was of 88 years. Unilateral lesions were more common than bilateral. Also, right testis was affected more than the left. Testicular swelling was the most common presenting symptom, in 57 cases (55.34%). Cryptorchid testis was the most common non-neoplastic lesion whereas mixed germ cell tumor was the most common neoplastic lesion in our study. Conclusion: Before considering orchidectomy, a testicular mass should be evaluated for any infectious lesion.
