A case of a rapidly expanding testicular mass in a 38-year-old homosexual whose human immunodeficiency virus status was unknown is presented. The mass proved to be lymphoma and serological testing for human immunodeficiency virus was positive. To our knowledge this is the second reported case of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome presenting as a testicular lymphoma.
