A 12-year-old boy with primary reticulum cell sarcoma of the testis who is alive and free of tumor 32 months after orchiectomy, radiation therapy to inguinal, iliac and retroperitoneal lymph nodes and chemotherapy is reported. Seven previously documented cases of childhood primary testicular lymphoma are reviewed. The patient with reticulum cell and one with lymphosarcoma were alive and tumor-free 4 and 18 months respectively. The other 5 with primary testicular lymphosarcoma died. Four survived for periods up to 1 year, 3 developing generalized lymphosarcoma and 1 leukemia. The fifth was tumor-free for 4 years and developed leukemia 2 weeks before death. The small number of cases precludes evaluation of survival in relation to various modes of therapy. Primary lymphoma of testis, no evidence of lymphoma elsewhere at time of orchiectomy, does exist. Its relatively benign biologic behavior in some remains an enigma.
报告了一名12岁患有睾丸原发性网状细胞肉瘤的男孩，在睾丸切除术后、腹股沟、髂骨和腹膜后淋巴结接受放射治疗以及化疗后，存活且无肿瘤32个月。回顾了7例先前记录的儿童原发性睾丸淋巴瘤病例。患有网状细胞肉瘤的患者和1例患有淋巴肉瘤的患者分别存活4个月和18个月且无肿瘤。其他5例原发性睾丸淋巴肉瘤患者死亡。4例存活期长达1年，3例发展为全身性淋巴肉瘤，1例发展为白血病。第5例无肿瘤存活4年，在死亡前2周发展为白血病。病例数量较少，无法评估与各种治疗方式相关的生存率。睾丸原发性淋巴瘤，在睾丸切除时其他部位无淋巴瘤证据，确实存在。其在某些病例中相对良性的生物学行为仍是一个谜。
