Fine needle aspiration cytology of adenomatoid tumour--a case report with review of literature.

Adenomatoid tumours are neoplasms of male and female genital tract with the epididymis being the most common site. They also occur in uterus, fallopian tube, and ovary. These benign tumours are asymptomatic or cause mild symptoms and a palpable mass. Fine needle aspiration of these tumours is very useful to differentiate malignant from benign lesions and helps to avoid unnecessary aggressive surgical procedures. FNAC of these benign epididymal tumours is diagnostic, rapid, reliable, conclusive and cost effective. We are reporting a case of adenomatoid tumour of epididymis in a 41 year old male patient, diagnosed by FNAC and confirmed by histopathology.
