Lesions of male genital tract form a relatively small but highly important part of pathological practice. They constitute a group of lesions which are difficult to detect and treat because of their anatomical locations, biological characters as well as their implications. To study the frequency of lesions of male genital tract. The prospective study was conducted on 200 cases of tumours and tumour-like lesions of male genital tract, received in our department of pathology. Multiple tissue pieces from suspicious and normal area were taken, processed and examined after routine H & E staining. Out of the total 200 cases, majority of the lesions were of prostate (64.5%) followed by penis (13.5%), testis (7.0%) and scrotum. Among prostate lesions, maximum cases were of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (82%) followed by adenocarcinoma (11.6%) and in penile lesions maximum cases were of squamous cell carcinoma (65.5%), amongst testicular lesions maximum cases were of seminoma (35%) followed by teratoma (14%).In scrotal lesions maximum cases were of hydrocele (39%) followed by epidermal cysts (26%).BPH outnumbered all the lesions of male genital tract followed by squamous cell carcinoma of penis.
