Primary Testis Lymphoma: Case Report
Abstract
Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of testis is an rare disease1-13. It accounts for 1%- 9% of all testicular neoplasms and 1-2% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas2,4,7,8,10,13. Despite this low overall incidence, it is the most common testicular malignancy in men aged over 60 years2-8,13. It is usually seen in elderly patients and mean the age of 606-8. The diagnosis is done through histological examination3,11. The most common-ly encountered histological type is diffuse large B celll ymphoma1-6. Clinical stage and histological grade is the most important prognostic factors. The prognosis is worse than other testicular tumors and, the evidence of no extension within a year suggest a good prognosis1-6,9. Primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) is infrequent whereas involvement of testis is common in nodal lymphomas. Fifty seven percent of cases with PTL present with stage I, 22% with stage II and 21% with stage III-IV1,2,4. Although there is not a standart therapy especially for stage I and II disease, treatment with doksorubicin or antrasiklin based chemotherapy following orchiectomy is recommend in these stages7,8. In advanced stages (III and IV), combination chemotherapy is the treatment of choise1,2. In this article we aimed to discuss the clinicopathologi-cal features of the cases diagnosed as PTL which is an rare disease with the review of the literature.
