Abstract
Bilateral synchronous testicular lymphoma is an uncommon presentation of no n-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A young man with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of both teste s synchronously is described here. He underwent bilateral orchiectomy, rece ived chemotherapy, and was in complete remission when there was a relapse i n the kidneys. Salvage chemotherapy was given. The patient developed progre ssion of the residual lesion subsequently and was started on palliation wit h chlorambucil and prednisolone. He was alive at 34 months after diagnosis with disease.
