Management of leukaemic infiltration of the testis.
Of 95 boys treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia 25 have developed leukaemic infiltration of the testes. In 15 children relapse was apparently confined to the testes, and since treatment 7 of these boys remain in remission. The median duration of remission after testicular relapse was 72 weeks, considerably longer than that reported after other forms of leukaemic relapse.
