[Simultaneous bilateral primary lymphomatous tumors of the testis]

Among the malignant tumours of the gonads, primary lymphoma of the testis represents a rare pathology. It is even more rare to observe this pathology in a bilateral localisation. After a careful evaluation of the cases described in the literature, the authors report a case or primary synchronous and bilateral lymphoma of the testis in a 68-year-old patient; they examine the clinical data and diagnostic methods and analyse the surgical treatment. In conclusion the authors affirm that primary synchronous bilateral lymphoma of the testis represents a rare form of tumour which is burdened by a high mortality rate.
