Primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) accounts for 1-2% of all cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, with a higher incidence in patients aged >60 years. The most common histological subtype is diffuse large-cell B lymphoma. By contrast, the bilateral synchronous and multimetastatic clinical presentation is a rare and unusual clinical presentation. In testicular masses, orchiectomy is essential for histopathological evaluation of the disease and definition of the immunophenotypic structure. The present study reported the case of a paucisymptomatic 54-year-old patient, who presented with erectile dysfunction and increasing testicular volume. Although clinical assessment and ultrasound examination showed an abnormal structure, highly suspicious for testicular cancer, the subsequent bilateral radical orchiectomy permitted the diagnosis of an unusual and rare PTL with multiple metastases reported at the PET/CT scan. In conclusion, the rare and aggressive disease represented by PTL requires a multidisciplinary approach and an aggressive treatment in order to provide the best care for patients affected.
原发性睾丸淋巴瘤(PTL)占所有非霍奇金淋巴瘤病例的1%-2%,在60岁以上患者中发病率更高。最常见的组织学亚型是弥漫性大细胞B淋巴瘤。相比之下,双侧同步和多转移的临床表现是一种罕见且不寻常的临床表现。在睾丸肿块中,睾丸切除术对于疾病的组织病理学评估和免疫表型结构的定义至关重要。本研究报告了一例54岁症状轻微的患者,该患者出现勃起功能障碍且睾丸体积增大。尽管临床评估和超声检查显示结构异常,高度怀疑为睾丸癌,但随后的双侧根治性睾丸切除术确诊为一种不寻常且罕见的PTL,PET/CT扫描显示有多处转移。总之,以PTL为代表的这种罕见且侵袭性的疾病需要多学科方法和积极治疗,以便为受影响的患者提供最佳护理。
