AB Secondary  cancers  of  the  testis  are  rare.  In  men  over  the  age  of  50  years,  lymphoma  is  the  most  common.  Overall,  it  is  the  most  common  secondary  neoplasm  of  the  testis,  accounting  for  5%  of  all  testicular  cancers.  It  may  be  seen  in  three  clinical  settings:  (1)  late  manifestation  of  widespread  lymphoma,  (2)  the  initial  presentation  of  clinically  occult  disease,  and  (3)  primary  extranodal  disease.  Radical  orchiectomy  is  indicated  to  make  the  diagnosis.  Prognosis  is  related  to  the  stage  of  disease.
