[Testicular malignant lymphoma: report of two cases].
One patient was a 79-year-old man, who exhibited right scrotal swelling and the other patient was a 73-year-old man, who exhibited left scrotal swelling. Both patients received high orchiectomy under the diagnosis of testicular tumor and the histopathological diagnosis in both patients was non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Case 1 was diffuse, medium-sized B cell type, and case 2 was diffuse, mixed B cell type. Several examinations revealed no apparent additional involvement. Neither patient received any adjuvant chemotherapy nor postoperative irradiation. In case 1, for a period of 4 years following high orchiectomy, the patient has been doing well. In case 2, 2 years and 6 months postoperatively, para-aortic lymph node swelling occurred, and chemotherapy was initiated with THP-COP but the patient died at 3 years and 3 months after high orchiectomy.
