Our original technique of preparing urinary and seminal sediment was modified in order to identify neoplastic cells in cases of testicular malignancies. In a series of 24 patients with testicular tumor‐like conditions, 18 tumors were diagnosed, 12 cytologically. In one case, the result of cytological examination was falsely positive since histopathology revealed necrosis of the testicle only. The morphology of neoplastic cells in the seminal sediment is demonstrated.
