Study Into The Patterns of Male Genital Tract Tumors.

ABSTRACT

Pattern of a particular disease in any population is studied with the idea of getting information about the clinical presentation, the varied morphology and the aetiological factors that can be assessed in relation to the prognosis. Our study was undertaken with the view to getting information about the prevalence , clinical presentation and morphological patterns of the tumors of the male genital tract..A total number of 111 histological proven cases of male genital tumors diagnosed over a period of 11 years were studied. The overall prevalence rate of male genital tumors was 0.94/1000 surgical admissions for histologically proven cases. The peak prevalence of male genital tumors was seen in the age group of 51-60 years.Penile cancers were the most commonly encountered malignancies accounting for 39.63% followed by prostatic adenocarcinomas 35.13%. Third in frequency were testicular tumors 34.32%. A single case (0.9%) of adenomatoid tumor of epididymis was seen.
