Abstract
Background: Germ cell Tumours (GCT) of testis accounts for majority of the testicular tumours while Non germ cell tumours of testis are generally rare. Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a common benign mesenchymal tumour that is commonly seen in the kidney and other than this site is generally very rare. The Aim is to study the different testicular lesions and to search for the rare tumours of testis. Materials and methods: It is a Hospital based Prospective observational study over a period of 3 years in orchidectomy specimens. Sample size includes 100 cases. Results : Non neoplastic testicular lesions accounts for the majority of the cases with most commonly seen in second decade of life while the Neoplastic lesions seen mostly in the 3rd and 4th decades of life with encountering one rare case of Testicular Angiomyolipoma. Conclusion: Diagnosing rare tumours of any organ is always a challenging task for every pathologist and it is also a visual treat. Hence it is imperative to maintain hawks vigil during microscopic diagnosis to identify such rare tumours for better management strategies.
