Primary lymphoma of the testis is more commonly seen in the elderly age group. A 45-year-old Hindu male with histopathological diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the right testis presented after orchiectomy of the right testis. The patient was put on two cycles of chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, adriamycin and prednisolone at 3- weekly interval followed by external radiation therapy. During follow-up after 7 years he developed left facial nerve palsy and left sided haemiparesis.
