Interesting case series on distinct histopathological findings of six cases of epididymo-orchitis

Abstract

Background: Several clinicopathological illnesses impact the testis and paratesticular area, which are divided into non-neoplastic and neoplastic diseases. Despite the availability of imaging and tumor marker testing, histopathological examination is the primary method for diagnosing testicular lesions. Common indications of orchidectomy for non-neoplastic lesions are cryptorchidism, epididymitis and testicular torsion. Few non- neoplastic lesions present as mimickers of neoplasm with commonest being granulomatous orchitis and AFB positivity detected only in 2.1% of cases with bilateral presentation being rarest.
