ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of male genitalia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 5 cases of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of male genitalia, 4 in the testis and 1 in the penis, we also analyzed the relevant literature and clinical significance of the disease.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All the 5 cases were treated by surgery and pathologically confirmed to be non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Three of them received chemotherapy, and the other 2 (1 in the testis and 1 in the penis) underwent both chemotherapy and radiotherapy after the operation. Follow-up averaged 25 months, during which 1 of the patients died and the other 4 survived.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of male genitalia is an uncommon disease with atypical clinical presentations and poor prognosis, which occurs mostly in elderly males. Definite diagnosis of the disease mainly depends on histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Surgery with multiagent chemotherapy and radiotherapy is advisable for its treatment.</p>
