An epidemiological study assessing histopathological spectrum of testicular lesions

Abstract

Aim: The aim of the present study was to study the incidence and histomorphological spectrum of testicular lesions. Methods: The Pathology Department conducted this three-year retrospective observational research. Gross and microscopic results were examined in 100 radical orchidectomy and testicular biopsies. The patient record part of the hospital and direct interviews with patients captured age, laterality, family history, risk factors, and blood indicators. Results: We examined 88 orchidectomy specimens and 12 testicular biopsies. These were 80 non neoplastic and 20 neoplastic cases. The youngest patient was a 6-month-old boy and the oldest was 76. The second and fourth decades saw the most patients. The youngest neoplastic lesion patient was 9 and the oldest 75. Non-neoplastic lesions averaged 35.30 years and neoplastic lesions 33.38 years. Most patients had scrotal edema (54%), empty scrotum (40%), discomfort (36%), fever (12%), and soreness (8%). The right testis (62%) was affected more than left (38%). None of the patients had bilateral testicular involvement.
