Background: Testicular cancer and Hodgkin's lymphoma are prevalent malignancies among young males aged 20 to 39. The incidence of testicular cancer and lymphoma has risen in recent years, with orchiectomy often followed by adjuvant chemotherapy as the primary treatment for testicular cancer and chemotherapy for lymphoma. Chemotherapy has been associated with an increased risk of aneuploidy and reduced fertility.
Method: This systematic review included seven studies, both case-control and longitudinal prospective designs, from the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. The screening process was conducted using the online tool covidence.org.
Results: The study outcomes indicate varied impacts of chemotherapy on aneuploidy rates. An increase in the aneuploidy rates, notably for the sex chromosomes, immediately post-treatment was a common trend, followed by a decline in pretreatment values.
Conclusion: This systematic review presents the effects of chemotherapy on the aneuploidy rates of testicular cancer and Hodgkin's lymphoma patients, with a decrease post-treatment. The findings underscore the need for larger, well-designed studies with a longer study period.

This review examines the historical evolution of testicular cancer (TCa) treatment, emphasizing the transformative impact of World War II. Prior to the war, cases of more than 50 testicular tumors were exceedingly rare. The mobilization of American troops, especially after the German Blitz, resulted in widespread military health screenings, leading to a surge in incidental TCa diagnoses during the 1940s.

Testicular follicular lymphoma (TFL) is an exceedingly rare lymphoma that typically occurs in young male patients and is now recognized as a distinct diagnostic entity in the International Consensus Classification. TFL shows some clinicopathologic and genetic overlap with pediatric-type follicular lymphoma (PTFL). We report a case of TFL occurring in an otherwise healthy 4-year-old boy who presented with painless scrotal swelling.

Objectives: The Scrotal and Penile Imaging Working Group (SPIWG) of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) aimed to formulate recommendations on the imaging modalities and minimal technical requirements for abdominopelvic imaging in the follow-up of adult patients treated for testicular germ-cell tumors (TGCT).
Methods: The SPIWG members performed an extensive literature search, reviewed the current clinical practice, and reached a consensus based on the opinions of experts in the field.
Results: Recurrence in patients treated for TGCT mainly occurs in retroperitoneal lymph nodes (LNs).
