Abstract

Primary testicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is an uncommon extra nodal lymphoma presentation, constituting 1-2% of all lymphomas. Majority are of B-Cell type, with very few cases being primary T-Cell phenotype. A 28 years male presented with painless, unilateral testicular swelling with elevated serum LDH levels, beta HCG and AFP serum levels were within normal limits. Gross evaluation of high inguinal orchidectomy specimen showed an enlarged homogenous, grey white lobulated mass with adjacent entrapped testicular parenchyma. Microscopy showed diffuse sheets of medium sized, monomorphic atypical lymphoid cells with sparing of adjacent seminiferous tubules. A panel of Immunohistochemistry markers done were suggestive of T-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Testicular T cell NHL are extremely rare amongst the testicular lymphomas, constituting for 5% of all testicular tumours. This case is being presented for its rarity in literature, especially in young age group and the unusual histomorphology.
