Abstract
Primary testicular lymphoma (PTTL) is a rare and aggressive form of extraganglionic malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NML). It accounts for 1% of malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, 2% of extranodal lymphomas and 5% of malignant testicular tumours. LTP is the most common form of testicular malignancy in men over 60. An enlarged inguinal orchiectomy should be performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes(1). Adjuvant treatment is based on systemic chemotherapy, administration of rituximab in the presence of CD20+ cells and intrathecal injection of methotrexate for neuro-meningeal prophylaxis. In this article, we report a case of testicular lymphoma in a 73-year-old patient who underwent inguinal orchiectomy followed by systemic and intrathecal CHOP chemotherapy.
