Testicular mass in an elderly patient: a rare presentation of Hodgkin's lymphoma.

A testicular mass in an elderly man has a high probability of being a lymphoma. However, when the pathologist is faced with a neoplastic lymphoid infiltrate in the testes, one rarely considers Hodgkin's lymphoma as a possibility, as a vast majority turn out to be diffuse large B cell lymphomas. The authors discuss the second case of Hodgkin's lymphoma, nodular sclerosis subtype, presenting as a painless enlarged testicle and associated symptoms similar to irreducible hernia in a 73-year-old gentleman.
