Malignant lymphoma of the testis.

Three cases of patients suffering from malignant lymphoma of the testicle are reported. The clinical aspects and characteristic pathological features are discussed. The evolution of lymphoma of the testicle differs from lymphomas in other sites and appears to be more agressive. It is recommended that a more extensive radiation therapy be applied because of frequent extra-nodal spread which is often excluded when using conventional fields. Chemotherapy provides long periods of remission in malignant lymphoma. This therapeutic weapon should be combined with radiation therapy for a better control of the disease.
