Extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the spermatic cord: The first reported case in Saudi Arabia

Primary spermatic cord lymphoma is rare, accounting for 1.6 % of spermatic cord tumors. It typically presents as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with aggressive course and poor prognosis. A 53-year-old male presented with progressive left testicular mass over one year. Imaging revealed spermatic cord tumor. Radical orchiectomy and histopathology confirmed stage IV Extranodal DLBCL. Patient received 6 cycles CHOP-R chemotherapy plus 2 additional Rituximab cycles, achieving favorable response despite advanced disease. This case emphasizes importance of early diagnosis, advanced imaging, and multidisciplinary treatment for this rare aggressive malignancy.

Abstract

Primary spermatic cord lymphoma is rare, accounting for 1.6 % of spermatic cord tumors. It typically presents as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with aggressive course and poor prognosis. A 53-year-old male presented with progressive left testicular mass over one year. Imaging revealed spermatic cord tumor. Radical orchiectomy and histopathology confirmed stage IV Extranodal DLBCL. Patient received 6 cycles CHOP-R chemotherapy plus 2 additional Rituximab cycles, achieving favorable response despite advanced disease. This case emphasizes importance of early diagnosis, advanced imaging, and multidisciplinary treatment for this rare aggressive malignancy.
