Abstract:
Malignant lymphoma of the testis is a rare disease and the most common testicular tumor in patients more than 60 years old. Malignant lymphoma of the testis is frequently confused with seminoma. In fact, only 30%, of patients in one series had disease-free intervals greater than 6 months postorchiectomy, and 90% of these parients died of generalized lymphoma within 2 years. We report a case of malignant lymphoma of the testis developed in a 55 years old man.
