[Plasmocytoma of the testis. Description of a clinical case and review of the literature].
Extraskeletal involvement of the testis during multiple myeloma is a rare disease; primary extraosseus myeloma of the testis is even more unusual, and shows progression to typical multiple myeloma after orchiectomy in most cases. A case-report of a multiple myeloma with testicular involvement is discussed; radiotherapy was performed successfully, instead of surgery, but diffuse skeletal lesions showed progression in spite of chemotherapy. A short review of the literature on this subject is made.
