Primary testicular lymphoma is an uncommon and aggressive neoplasm, with a mean age of diagnosis between 66 and 68 years, corresponding to the most common primary testicular neoplasm in those over 60 years of age and with bilateral involvement. Secondary testicular lymphoma is much more common and includes extranodal relapse after chemotherapy and primary manifestations of unknown systemic disease. The imaging characteristics of testicular lymphoma reflect a non-destructive infiltrative pattern seen in histopathological analyzes, which is reflected in its ultrasound manifestations. We present a series of cases with a confirmed diagnosis of testicular lymphoma to describe the most frequent findings in B-mode ultrasonography, color and spectral Doppler.
