A rare case of primary extra-nodal large cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma of testis

Abstract

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of the testes is an uncommon extranodal presentation with an incidence rate of 0.06 to 0.09 per 100,000 persons and accounts for about 1% of all NHLs and 5% of all testicular tumors. The disease typically presents in patients aged over 60 years and is the most common testicular tumor in patients older than 60 years. Rightand left-sided testicular involvement is equal in frequency and approximately 6% of testicular lymphomas will have bilateral involvement. Testicular NHL has a relapse site in the central nervous system (CNS). It is actually a rare disease. Our case showed typical features of NHL without any CNS involvement even after 5 years. The patient was offered a standard chemotherapy regimen without any radiotherapy.
