14 years or less, where little variation is observed. [2-7] Though the etiology of testicular cancers is not well understood, various factors such as cryptorchidism, trauma, infections, and genetic and endocrine factors appear to have a role in their development. [8] A definite geographic and racial distribution is seen in testicular tumors. The age distribution of testicular cancers is also distinct from other types of cancer. [2] Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the pattern and distribution of testicular tumors in B.J. Medical College Ahmedabad, Gujarat, one of the tertiary health care institute in Northwest part of India. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective study in which cases were retrieved from the electronic database of the department of pathology, B.J. Medical College, Ahmedabad for patients Background: Testicular cancers are rare in most countries. However, in many Western countries their incidence has been increasing since the middle of the twentieth century. A definite geographic and racial distribution is seen in the occurrence of testicular tumors.

“…The absence of immature neuroblastic cells, nuclear pleomorphism, mitoses, necrosis and inflammation allows its differentiation from other neuroblastic tumors. 1,2,15 Neurofibromas can be confused with GNs in poorly sampled cases lacking ganglion cells, and some GNs have been noted to show mast cells. 1 A schwannoma may show cellular areas (Antoni A) alternating with a hypocellular myxoid matrix (Antoni B).…”

“…13 Metastases of GNs have been known to occur as well as local recurrence, 2 re- 16 and malignant metamorphosis to malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. 4,15,17 The cytomorphology of the FNA specimen, absence of inflammatory elements, mitoses, atypia and absence of immature and teratoid elements and presence of mature ganglion cells and bland spindle cells, along with the histology of the needle core biopsy and the immunohistochemical pattern, allowed a definitive diagnosis of GN to be made.…”

“…(Table II) In these reports, the cytologic features of ganglioneuroma have been described as rather characteristic, provided that a smear contains both spindle and ganglion cell components. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] FNA smears of ganglioneuromas must be differentiated from other lesions that occur in the mediastinum and abdominal cavity and yield aspirates with spindle cells. As in histologic specimens, the main differential diagnosis of ganglioneuroma is ganglioneuroblastoma, a malignant neuroectodermal neoplasm with a similar clinical presentation and showing maturation toward ganglioneuroma but with variable numbers of immature neural elements.…”

Ganglioneuroma is a rare soft tissue neoplasm, arising most frequently in the mediastinum or retroperitoneum in children and young adults. Correct evaluation of this lesion is of crucial importance, as there are some malignant neoplasms that have similar clinical presentations. As reports of the cytologic appearance of ganglioneuroma are few, the author describes the cytologic features of three patients examined initially by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) with correlation to histology and clinical data. This paper shows that the cytologic features of ganglioneuromas can be diagnostic if both spindle cells and ganglion cells are present in smears. The absence of immature cells and necrosis/inflammation differentiates ganglioneuromas from their malignant counterparts, ganglioneuroblastomas and neuroblastomas. Immunocytochemistry can help to establish the neurogenic origin of the tumor cells.
