15599

Background: Testicular tumors constitute 1-2% of malignancies in males. It is usually seen in young patients and its incidence increases in the 4th decade. Germ cell tumors are the most common histologic subtype. Our aim is to evaluate the testicular tumor cases, which were diagnosed in our department, retrospectively. Materials and Method: Pathology reports of 83 orchiectomy patients, which were diagnosed at the department of pathology in Süleyman Demirel University between 2007 and 2012, were evaluated, retrospectively. Tumoral cases were selected and classified according to the 2004 World Health Organization classification system. Results: A total of 45 testicular tumors were found in our pathology archive diagnosed between 2007 and 2012. Of the 45 tumoral cases 16 (35.6%) were classical seminoma, 3 (6.7%) were spermatocytic seminoma, 1 (2.2%) was seminoma with syncytiotrophoblastic cells, 1 (2.2%) was embryonal carcinoma, 17 (37.8%) were mixed germ cell tumors, 6 (13.3%) were lymphoma and 1 (2.2%) was intratubular germ cell neoplasia. Germ cell tumors constituted 86.7% of all testicular tumors, and 51.3% of them were seminomas. Conclusion: Germ cell tumors, which constituted the majority of testicular tumors in our series, included mostly seminomas and mixed germ cell tumors.
