Article in English | IMSEAR | ID: sea-157574
ABSTRACT
Genitourinary tumors may show varied clinical presentation and frequency in different regions of the world. The present study was therefore conducted to analyze the frequency, clinical presentation and the histopathological types of the various male genitourinary tumors diagnosed over a period of 14 years in a major teaching institute of north Himalayan region of India. Material and

Methods:

Retrospective study was undertaken in the Pathology department of the Institute which included all the cases of male genitourinary tumors which were diagnosed on histopathology from the time period between 1 Jan 1997 till 31st Dec. 2010.

Results:

The study showed that prostate was the most common site for male genitourinary tumors with prostatic adenocarcinoma as the most common histopathological type of tumor. Testicular Non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma constituted about 8% of total tumors in testes which mostly presented in elderly age group. Renal cell carcinoma (66.2%) was the most common tumor in kidney with much lower frequency of Wilm’s tumor (16.9%). Occasional rare tumors such as hemangioma of urinary bladder and schwannoma of penis were also seen over 14 years.

Conclusion:

The study concludes clinically patients were associated with more severe symptoms as they presented late to the hospital from the remote areas of this Himalayan region leading to late detection of tumors. Prostatic adenocarcinoma was the most common tumor while renal cell carcinoma was most common tumor in kidney. The present study provides valuable information to clinicians and pathologists regarding frequency, clinical presentation and histopathological types of male genitourinary tumors in this region which can be further used to formulate strategies for better management of these tumors.
