Abstract
The authors describe a case of synchronous bilateral involvement of th e testes in a 70-year-old patient seven years after the onset of an Ig G k IIIA multiple myeloma. Ultrasonographic and postoperative immunohi stochemical studies were performed. A complete review of the literatur e shows the rarity of testicular plasmacytoma. The present one is the second reported case of syncronous involvement of the testes.
