Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma of the Scrotum

Abstract

Primary lymphoma of the scrotum is rare. We report a case of primary immunoblastic lymphoma of the scrotum in a homosexual who was negative for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus. Immunoperoxidase stains of paraffin-embedded tissue were consistent with a T-cell phenotype. Although complete remission was initially induced with surgical extirpation of the tumor and combination chemotherapy, isolated skin relapse developed which again responded to chemotherapy.
