Testicular plasmacytoma is a very unfrequent plasma cells neoplasm. It is usually an incidental autopsy finding devoid of clinical expression, but it presents sometimes as part of a multiple myeloma and is exceptionally its only location. Bilateral involvement is extremely unfrequent. We report the case of a 58-years-old man diagnosed with multiple myeloma in complete remission who complains about progressive enlargement of both testicles. After ultrasonography and PAAF, bilateral testicular plasmacytoma is diagnosed. Treatment includes surgery (orchiectomy), radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Prognostic is worse when multiple myeloma is associated.

We currently give medical treatment for all types and forms of PNHH. If the patient is resistant to therapy, adenoma is ruled out. If adenoma is diagnosed, it is removed. If the type is diffuse, near-total pancreatectomy is performed with a perioperative biopsy. In cases of hyperplasia or mixed forms we recommend total pancreatectomy and in cases of nesidioblastosis, partial pancreatectomy.
