dc.description.abstractDear Editor, Malignant lymphoma of the testis generates 5% of all testicular malignancy and 1% of all lymphomas (1). Testicular involvement is an extremely rare presentation of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL); to date, testicular involvement has been reported in 5 patients with HL. We have examined a patient with testicular involvement of HL who relapsed 11 years after treatment. Written informed consent was obtained from patient. A 40-year-old male patient was admitted to hospital in June 2014 with complaints of fever, weight loss and night sweats for 2 months. We found that he had been diagnosed as mixed cellularity classical HL (stage 2A) in 2003 and achieved complete remission after 3 cycles of Adriamycin (Doxorubicin, Koçak; Tekirdağ, Turkey), bleomycin (Blemisin, Koçak; Tekirdağ, Turkey), vinblastine (Vinko, Koçak; Tekirdağ, Turkey), dacarbazine (Dakarbaz, Koçak; Tekirdağ, Turkey) (ABVD) chemotherapy and involved field radiotherapy. He was followed without any therapy for 11 years. On admission, physical examination was unremarkable except for millimeter cervical lymph nodes. The following measurements were recorded: erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 97 mm/h, lactate dehydrogenase level 247 U/L and beta2-microglobulin of 2.14 mg/L. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET-CT) (Siemens; Munich, Germany) revealed multiple cervical, mediastinal and abdominal lymph nodes with increased FDG uptake.
