Summary
Malignant lymphoma can arise in the testis in older men. This study presents two cases and reviews 22 similar testicular lymphoma cases in Japan, classifying them by the Lymphoma Study Group (LSG) system.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pathology
- Urology
Background:
- Malignant lymphoma of the testis is a rare but significant diagnosis.
- Early detection and accurate classification are crucial for patient outcomes.
Observation:
- Two elderly male patients (72 and 79 years old) underwent high inguinal orchiectomy for testicular tumors.
- Histopathological examination confirmed malignant lymphoma of the testis in both cases.
Findings:
- One case was classified as large cell type diffuse lymphoma.
- The other case was classified as mixed cell type diffuse lymphoma, according to the Lymphoma Study Group (LSG) classification.
- A review of 22 reported testicular lymphoma cases in Japan was conducted, utilizing the LSG classification.
Implications:
- Highlights the importance of considering testicular lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of testicular masses in older men.
- Emphasizes the utility of the LSG classification system for standardizing the diagnosis and comparison of testicular lymphoma cases.
- Contributes to the understanding of testicular lymphoma epidemiology and histology in the Japanese population.
