Description
Summary:Bilateral Primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) is a rare and aggressive non-Hodgkin extranodal lymphoma. Despite this low overall incidence, it is the most common testicular cancer in the elderly. PTL is characterized by spreading to non-contiguous extranodal sites (especially in SNC), high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. We report a case of a 55-year old man with advanced bilateral PTL without specific symptoms who underwent a combined multimodal approach.
