Girls with acute lymphoblastic leukemia appear to have a higher cure rate than boys. This is in part attributable to the reoccurrence of testicular disease in boys. Although the frequency of testicular relapse is less than 5% with current intensive therapy regimens, testicular disease remains of apparent clinical importance. Here we report an unusually late testicular relapse in an 18-year-old male after 12.7 years of continuous complete remission, and review the literature regarding this late failure.
患急性淋巴细胞白血病的女孩似乎比男孩有更高的治愈率。这部分归因于男孩的睾丸疾病复发。尽管采用目前的强化治疗方案，睾丸复发的频率低于5%，但睾丸疾病在临床上仍具有明显的重要性。在此，我们报告一名18岁男性在持续完全缓解12.7年后出现异常晚发的睾丸复发，并回顾有关这种晚期治疗失败的文献。
