Testicular tumours are rare, affecting adolescents and young adults. Only limited literature is available on the epidemiology of testicular and paratesticular lesions from South India. Aim: A detailed 4 year histopathological analysis of testicular and paratesticular lesions including testicular tumours were undertaken. Materials and Methods: A total of 160 orchidectomy cases studied with retrieved blocks and slides from the department. A detailed clinicopathological correlation done. Serological markers and Immunohistochemistry done in required cases. Results: Our analysis showed 87.5% non neoplastic lesions with torsion testis being the most common followed by atrophic testis and tuberculous epididymo-orchitis. Of the neoplastic lesions (12.5%) malignant tumours were common compared to benign tumours and germ cell tumour constituted the predominant malignant lesion. Conclusion: The distribution of testicular lesions in patients attending our institution were comparable with available worldwide data.
