Abstract:
Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) represents less than 5% of testicular malignancies and most often occurs in elderly men (>60 years old). We present a case of a 6-year-old boy who presented with bilateral, painless testicular swelling. Imaging studies showed bilateral heterogenous infiltrative process without focal mass. Serum testicular tumor markers were negative. Incisional testicular biopsies revealed a highly aggressive metastatic Burkitt's lymphoma with involvement of the pancreas and bone marrow. Chemotherapy was initiated with good response and showed resolution of the testicular lesions.
