Fine needle aspiration cytology and cell block in the diagnosis of seminoma testis

Testicular neoplasms which show a wide variety of morphologic types, comprise a small proportion of malignancies. Early identification and treatment is essential for achieving long term survival. The cytologic findings in fine needle aspiration smears from left testicular swelling of a 49 year old m...

Early identification and treatment is essential for achieving long term survival. The cytologic findings in fine needle aspiration smears from left testicular swelling of a 49 year old male suggestive of a germ cell tumor was complimented by cell block preparation as seminoma. This was confirmed by histopathologic studies. We are presenting this case to emphasize that cell block can be used for diagnosis of testicular tumors.http://www.jcytol.org/article.asp?issn=0970-9371;year=2011;volume=28;issue=1;spage=39;epage=41;aulast=Fine needle aspiration; cell block; seminoma
