“…The same result was found by other authors. [12] Sertoli cell only syndrome could be evaluated clearly by biopsy and cytology, but if there`s extensive fibrosis, Lyedig cell hyperplasia, cytology could not be able to clarify these details. The concordance between FNAC and biopsy was 100% in this study, especially in the main diagnosis, but however, some details that depend on the architectural features could not be evaluated by FNAC smears.…”

Background: Aims: The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy and cytological features of fine needle aspiration cytology smears (FNAC) in determining the causes of azoospermia as compared to open testicular biopsy. Methods: 35 patients with non-obstructive azoospermia were subjected to the study; the age of them was 20-40 years. Each patient was subjected to the taking history and clinical examination. Laboratory tests were done including urine analysis, three consecutive semen samples and endocrine evaluation. Then, cord block was achieved with 1% lignocaine; and fine needle aspiration was be done, then staining the smears with Leishman or hematoxylene and eosin stains. In the same sitting, testicular biopsy was taken, then Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E)-stained sections were prepared. Histopathological and cytological evaluation was investigated; and photographs were be taken. Then, statistical analysis was performed. Results: The concordance of FNAC with open biopsy in the diagnosis of azoospermia was 100%. FNAC smears was associated with fewer complications such as bleeding, pain and hematoma than in case of open biopsy. Conclusion:The technique of testicular FNAC is simple, more than one specimen could be taken safely. FNAC is representative and correlates well with testicular biopsy histology.

“…Since, in these individuals differentiation between lack of sperm production and reproductive tract blockage problem is difficult. Testis biopsy gives us important information in this regard (Ahamad et al, 2010). Therefore, it seems important to find and use drugs for treatment of fertility with unknown causes.…”

Three hundred and twelve male patients undergoing testicular biopsy. Following biopsy the samples was sent to the Qaem pathology laboratory, then the samples was fixing in formalin and dehydrated by alcohol and clearing with xylol and paraffin blocks then prepared. After preparing the sections with microtome, samples were stained by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and studied by light microscopy. Histopathological results indicated that the most frequent histopathologic patterns of samples were Germ Cell Aplasia or Sertoli Cell Only Syndrome.
