A 41 year old male presented to our department with left sided scrotal swelling and pain for fifteen days. There was no history of trauma or surgery. Local examination revealed a firm, tender nodule 2.5 cm in diameter. The contralateral testis was normal. Clinical diagnosis of testicular neoplasm/epididymal cyst was made. Investigations revealed normal serum α-fetal protein, human chorionic gonadotropin and lactate dehydrogenase levels. Scrotal ultrasonography revealed 2.5 cm well defined, heterogeneous, hypo echoic solitary mass in the left testis. Guided aspiration was done using 10 mL syringe and 24 gauge needle. Scanty, grayish white aspirate was obtained. Smears were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H and E), Papanicolaou and May–Grόnwald-Giemsa (MGG) stains.\nModerately cellular smears consisted of tumor cells arranged in monolayered sheets and loosely cohesive clusters. Cells were round to oval with indistinct cell borders and moderate to abundant pale vacuolated cytoplasm. The monomorphic nuclei were eccentrically placed with fine granular chromatin and small inconspicuous nucleoli. Occasional binucleated cells were seen. Background showed pink amorphous material along with bare nuclei and few lymphocytes []. These cytological features suggested the diagnosis of AT. The patient underwent conservative testis sparing surgery, with excision of nodule.\nGrossly, an encapsulated grayish white mass measuring 2.5 × 2 × 1.8 cm was obtained. Microscopic examination revealed cuboidal to flat epithelial cells in solid cords, tubules and cystic spaces, some showing cytoplasmic vacuolation. Intervening stroma showed fibrocollagenous tissue with sparse lymphocytic infiltrate. Epithelial cells showed periodic acid schiff (PAS) positivity, the features consistent with adenomatoid tumor.
A 35 year-old male presented with a right-sided, scrotal swelling of three days’ duration associated with acute scrotal pain of increasing severity. His past medical history was not significant and there was no history of trauma. Clinical examination revealed an enlarged, firm, tender nodule, three cm in diameter, while the contralateral testis was normal. A clinical diagnosis of torsion testis/testicular neoplasm was made. All routine investigations gave normal results. An emergency scrotal ultrasonography (USG) revealed a 2.5 cm, single, ovoid, well-defined, hypoechoic, solitary mass in the right testis. Guided aspiration was done under local anesthesia using a 10 mL syringe and a 24 gauge needle to obtain a scanty, grey-white aspirate. The smears were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H and E), Papanicolaou, and May-Grünwald-Giemsa (MGG) stains. The smears were moderately cellular, consisting of tumor cells arranged in sheets and clusters. The cells were round to oval, having eccentric, vesicular nuclei with a fine granular chromatin along with a pale/vacuolated cytoplasm []. A cytological diagnosis of adenomatoid tumor was made. The patient underwent orchidectomy as the mass was firmly adherent to the tunica albugenia making conservative surgery unfeasible. The specimen showed the testis with a well circumscribed, encapsulated mass measuring 2.5 × 2 cm [] and its cut section was gray white. Histopathological examination (HPE) showed cuboidal to flat epithelial cells in solid cords, some lining the cystic spaces. Some of these epithelial cells showed prominent cytoplasmic vacuolation. Intervening stroma showed fibrocollagenous tissue with sparse lymphocytic infiltrates []. These features were consistent with those of an adenomatoid tumor.
