Abstract:
Testicular plasmacytoma is a rare extramedullary manifestation of plasma cell dyscrasia. We report a case of a 53-year-old man who presented with a metachronous testicular lesion originating from a soft tissue plasmacytoma of the oral cavity. He underwent radical orchiectomy and a year later, presented with testicular plasmacytoma in the contralateral testis. He received induction chemotherapy, autologous stem cell transplantation with high dose melphalan and maintenance with lenalidomide, as he refused orchiectomy and achieved complete remission. However, six months post-transplant, he relapsed with localized disease in his testis, received second-line chemotherapy, after refusing orchiectomy and still remains in partial remission and alive.
