CASTILLO GONZALEZ, Rafael Orlando et al. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Presentation of a testicular tumor. ccm [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.297-304. ISSN 1560-4381.

We present a 64 year-old male patient, from Lizarzaburu parish, Cantón Riobamba, Chimborazo province, Ecuador. He was studied in 2014, for showing peculiarities of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of testicular location; clinically detected as diffuse and imaging volume increase, as a histopathologically confirmed testicular tumor. As evidence in this publication, tumor appearance in this location can be associated with difficulties in its diagnosis, even during the interpretation of the histological slides. Due to the low testicular cancer frequency of appearance, and specially this kind of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, literature on this subject is scarce. Individual data, family and hospital clinical history were collected as well as tests results.

Keywords : non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; seminoma; orchiectomy; testicular cancer.
