Dr. Natarajan Suresh, Dr. Josephine. A

Abstract :

Orchidectomy specimens constitute significant proportion of cases in histopathology labs.Mostof the cases are of non neoplastic in nature and wide range of age group is affected.Testicular neoplasms acconts for 1–2% of all malignat tumors and is one of the most common malignancy in men.The aim of the current study is to study the histomorphological features of orchidectomy specimens in a tertiary care hospital.Materials and methods:A total of fifty two orchidectomy specimens recived in the department of pathology in a tertiary care centre between june 2017 &june 2018 were included in the study.All the specimens were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin and four micron thickness sections were made.The sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain and were subjected to histopathological examination.Results :A total of 52 specimens were received during the study period.Most of the patients presented with Right sided lesions and most common age group involved were in the fourth to sixth decade.Non neoplastic lesions constitute majority of the cases accounting for 80.7% (39).Testicular neoplasms was observed in 19.2% of cases.Seminoma of testes was the most common testicular cancer and most of the patients presented in the fourth decade. Conclusion: Although newer imaging modalities offer preoperative diagnosis ,a definitive diagnosis is possible and reliable only with the histopathological examination of orchidectomy specimens.
