Linfoma No Hodgkin primario Testicular
2018
Resumen Los linfomas constituyen un grupo diverso de neoplasias malignas, que se originan del sistema linfatico (1) . Aproximadamente el 85% se agrupan dentro de los denominados Linfomas No Hodgkin (LNH). Los LNH constituyen un numeroso grupo de linfomas derivados de la transformacion neoplasica de los linfocitos B, T y Celulas NK, prove- nientes de diversas zonas que comprometen los foliculos linfaticos en los nodulos linfaticos o en el sistema linfoide extranodal (2) . Las localizaciones extra ganglionares primarias representan mas de 10% de los casos y los sitios mas frecuentes comprenden estomago, intestino delgado, orofaringe, piel, higado y cerebro; ademas de otras bastante raras como ano, corazon, musculos y encias. Los linfomas testiculares primarios son muy raros, representan aproximadamente el 5% de todas las neoplasias testiculares malignas, menos del 1% de los LNH y el 4% de los LNH extra nodales (3) . Esta neoplasia constituye el tumor maligno testicular mas frecuente en sujetos ancianos. La presentacion clinica tipica es una masa testicular unilateral acompanada en ocasiones de hidrocele y dolor agudo escrotal. A continuacion presentamos un caso que requirio de la participacion de multiples especialidades de nuestra institucion para un manejo conjunto y finalmente el paciente fallecio. Abstract The lymphomas constitute a diverse group of malignant neoplasms, which originate from the lymphatic system (1) . Approximately 85% are grouped into the so-called Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas (NHL). NHL are a large group of lymphomas derived from the neoplastic transformation of B, T and NK cells of different areas with involvement of lymphatic follicles in the lymph nodes or the extra- nodal lymphoid system (2) . The primary extragan- glionic sites represent more than 10% of the cases and the most frequent sites include stomach, small intestine, oropharynx, skin, liver and brain; others, quite rare, are anus, heart, muscles and gums. Primary testicular lymphomas are extremely rare, accounting for approximately 5% of all malignant testicular neoplasms, less than 1% of NHL and 4% of extranodal NHL (3) . This neoplasm constitutes the most frequent testicular malignant tumor in elderly subjects. The typical clinical presentation is a unilateral testicular mass, sometimes accompanied by hydrocele and acute scrotal pain. We present a case which required the participation of multiple specialties of our institution for management but the patient finally died.
