Testicular relapse in adult acute lymphocytic leukemia: a case report and literature review
Med Pediatr Oncol.
1989.
Abstract
In the pediatric age group, acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) may involve the testicles during complete remission of the disease in the marrow. We report a case of testicular involvement with ALL in an adult and review 11 cases of this phenomenon reported previously, to draw attention to the fact that it can occur at any age. Recognition of this fact is important, because testicular involvement may be the first manifestation of systemic relapse. The treatment of choice is irradiation to both testicles and combination chemotherapy.
