Abstract

We report a case of testicular malignant lymphoma in a hemodialysis patient. A 65-year-old man who had been undergoing hemodialysis for 8 years and 10 months consulted our hospital with right testicular enlargement in August 2012. Under a diagnosis of testicular cancer from manipulation test and ultrasonography, high orchiectomy was performed. Computed tomography showed swelling of the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Histopathological examination revealed diffuse, non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma, CD20＋. R-CHOP chemotherapy was initiated and retroperitoneal lymph node swelling completely disappeared after 1 cycle of chemotherapy. After completing 2 cycles of chemotherapy, the patient developed interstitial pneumonia, and thus radiotherapy to the retroperitoneal space including the left testis was performed. As of July 2014, the patient remains alive without recurrence.
