[Malignant lymphoma of the testis: report of two cases]

Two cases of malignant lymphoma arising from the testis are reported. One was 45 years of age, with the complaint of left scrotal swelling with dull pain and the other was 68 years of age, with the complaint of painless swelling of right scrotal contents. Microscopic findings were both malignant lymphoma of the testis, large cell and immunoblastic type in case 1 and diffuse mixed, small and large cell type in case 2 (Working Formulation, 1982). Biomedical and radiographic examinations revealed no apparent involvement otherwise. For the period of 6 months in case 1 and 2 months in case 2 following radical orchiectomy with postoperative irradiation (Lineac 4,000 rad), the patients have been doing quite well without any clinical evidence of recurrence. The literature is also reviewed briefly.
