Abstract:
Malignant lymphoma involving the testis is a rare disease with poor prognosis and the most common type of testicular malignancy after 60 years of age. But the origin of this tumor is controversial in an organ supposedly devoid of lymphoid tissue, so it is difficult classifying testicular involving as primary or secondary without prolonged observation of the patient. We report a case of malignant lymphoma of the testis developed in a 56 years old man and the relevant literature has been reviewed.
