In view of the dearth of literature of studies involving large cohorts of patients, the present study describes at length the detailed cytological evaluation of testicular and paratesticular mass lesions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study consisted of 85 cases in 5\u2010year retrospective and 1\u2010year prospective analyses carried out in the Department of Pathology, Government Medical College, Jammu. The study depicts cytomorphological findings of testicular and paratesticular mass lesions.

In addition, there were 10 cases (11.76%) of malignant tumours and three cases (3.5%) of benign tumours. Overall, acute orchitis was the most common inflammatory lesions (12.94%) followed by tubercular epididymitis (9.4%). The most common cystic lesion was benign epididymal cyst (10.5%) and the most common malignant tumours were seminoma and embryonal carcinoma. Cytohistological correlation was available for 16 (18.82%) cases only and cytological diagnosis was concordant with the histological diagnosis in all these cases.
