[Malignant lymphoma of the testis].
We review nine patients treated for malignant lymphoma at The Norwegian Radium Hospital. The median age was 67 years. All had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, eight were high-grade malignant. Extragonadal manifestations were diagnosed in five patients. The treatment was orchidectomy and combination chemotherapy. Four patients with only gonadal affection survived, while all who had extragonadal affections died. Patients with only gonadal affection should be treated with adjuvant chemotherapy after orchidectomy. Patients with extragonadal affection are at high risk, and should receive intensive chemotherapy.
