摘要：

To date, we have studied 89 palpable lesions of the scrotum, testicle, and epididymis using fine‐needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Cystic lesions (48.3%) and inflammatory pathology (25.8%) were the most frequent findings. Tumors accounted for 11.2% of results, with a slight predominance of the malignant varieties. In this article, we describe the cytopathology of the main entities and discuss the principal problems of differential diagnosis, especially among inflammatory processes, seminomas, and embryonal carcinomas. The cytopathological pattern of the neoplasias is highly characteristic, and this permits their diagnosis with great precision. FNAC is essentially non‐traumatic and easy to carry out, but it requires considerable practice in its execution and in the interpretation of the aspirates. We believe FNAC to be the technique of choice for the study of the pathology of the scrotal content, and we think that it should be employed on the patient's very first visit. The main advantage of FNAC is avoiding delays in diagnosis. Copyright © 1990 Wiley‐Liss, Inc., A Wiley Company
