title: [Testicular malignant lymphoma: a case report].
abstract: We report a case of malignant lymphoma arising from the testicle in a patient who had been on chemotherapy for a long period after orchiectomy. A 54-year-old male presented with indolent swelling in the right scrotum. Diagnosed as having a testicular tumor by ultrasonography and MRI, he underwent orchiectomy. According to the histopathological diagnosis, the tumor was classified as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, diffuse large cell type, B cell type. Diagnosis of Stage I eA was made by the Arr Arbor classification. Four courses of cycrophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristin and prednisolone (CHOP) therapy were administered. COP (CHOP minus adriamycin) therapy has been given every four months on an out-patient basis. At present, 28 months after the operation, no evident recurrence has been found.
