Objective:
To summarize the clinicopathological features of testicular lymphomas (TL).
Methods:
The medical records of 65 patients diagnosed with TL between 2008.1.1 and 2014.11.30 were retrospectively reviewed.
Results:
TL was classified as primary (PTL) when there's no prior diagnosis of an extara-testicular lymphoma/leukemia and no concurrent widespread disease, except for the concomitant involvement of ipsilateral inguinal lymph nodes; otherwise it was classified as secondary (STL). Of our patients group, 46 (70.8%) cases were classified primary TL as and the other 19 (29.2%） cases were secondary TL. All patients presented with painless testicular swelling. The median age of STL was significantly younger than that of PTL [65 (12-88) ys vs 13 (1-75) ys, P<0.001]. Additionally, a striking difference in the distribution of histological subtypes was observed between the PTL and STL patients group.
Conclusion:
Primary TLs were more common than secondary. Striking differences in the distribution of patients'age and histology were found between STL and PTL.

01:23Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
