Lymphomas of the testicle

Abstract

Although lymphomas of the testicle anecdotally may be confined to that organ, in general they represent a part of the disease which is distributed widely in other parts of the body. A review of the literature and of our nine cases indicates that of those presenting initially in the testicle, the first recurrence is often in a visceral organ or in a noncontiguous lymph node region. Frequent involvement of Waldeyer's ring, the paranasal sinuses, and contralateral testicle makes this disease worthy of further study.
