Objective: Clinicopathological analysis of testicular tumors as per World Health Organisation (WHO) classification.
Materials and methods:All consecutive cases of testicular tumors diagnosed in the department of pathology for five year were included in this study.
Results:During the span of five years, total 59 cases of testicular tumors were diagnosed. Scrotal mass or swelling was the predominant mode of presentation. Germ cell tumors constituted 89.8% (n = 53) of all testicular neoplasms in which seminoma 32.2% and teratocarcinoma 13.4% were present. Yolk-sac tumor (5.1%) was the commonest testicular neoplasm in children while lymphoma (8.5%) was the predominant neoplasm in elderly population. One case of leukemic infiltration of testis (1.7%) in a known patient of acute lymphocytic leukemia after chemotherapy was also observed.
Conclusion:In this study clinical presentation, age,and frequency of testicular tumors,with few exceptions are similar to other studies from different parts of country, confirming similarity in international literature.
