Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Articles

Primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) is a rare testicular malignancy, despite being considered the most common testicular tumor in patients older than 60 years. Primary testicular lymphoma represents only 1%-9% of testicular neoplasms.

Population-based data on the development of kidney cancer as a second malignant neoplasm following the diagnosis of other common malignancies are rare. This clinical scenario has been evaluated within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

We herein report the case of a 74 year-old woman with a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and bilateral renal masses identified on computed tomography scans during the initial staging process. Following partial bilateral nephrectomy, histopathological examination revealed renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and oncocytoma in the left and the right kidneys, respectively.

The increased risk of subsequent primary malignancies (SPM) in survivors of adult-onset Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) remains a challenging clinical problem worldwide. The German cancer registry database, pooled from 14 federal states, was used to calculate the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and excess absolute risk (EAR) of SPM in 128 587 patients registered with first primary HL/NHL between 1990 and 2012.
