Primary testicular lymphoma is a rare testicular neoplasm that mainly affects elderly patients, with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) being a known risk factor in the younger population. Approximately 20% of patients will have disseminated disease with extra-nodal involvement at clinical presentation. Rarely, direct spread along the spermatic cord and gonadal vessels can occur and has been described in the literature. We present two cases of this phenomenon where the primary testicular tumour has spread along the gonadal vein to its origin at the inferior vena cava.
原发性睾丸淋巴瘤是一种罕见的睾丸肿瘤,主要影响老年患者,而人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)是年轻人群中已知的危险因素。约20%的患者在临床表现时会出现伴有结外受累的播散性疾病。罕见情况下,肿瘤可沿精索和性腺血管直接蔓延,文献中已有相关描述。我们报告两例这种现象,即原发性睾丸肿瘤沿性腺静脉蔓延至其在下腔静脉的起源处。
