title: Renal relapse in bilateral synchronous testicular lymphoma.
abstract: Bilateral synchronous testicular lymphoma is an uncommon presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A young man with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of both testes synchronously is described here. He underwent bilateral orchiectomy, received chemotherapy, and was in complete remission when there was a relapse in the kidneys. Salvage chemotherapy was given. The patient developed progression of the residual lesion subsequently and was started on palliation with chlorambucil and prednisolone. He was alive at 34 months after diagnosis with disease.
