Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presenting as an inguinal hernia - case report.

Microscopic and immunohistochemical analysis revealed a DLBCL with non-germinal center phenotype and c-MYC rearrangement. Further staging confirmed stage IE disease with extranodal paratesticular involvement. The patient was subsequently treated with rituximab in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone and showed complete metabolic remission after two cycles. This case illustrates the broad differential diagnosis of inguinal swelling and (para)testicular tumors.
