Department of Urology, Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois.

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.

D000163	Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome	An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.

D016400	Lymphoma, Large-Cell, Immunoblastic	Malignant lymphoma characterized by the presence of immunoblasts with uniformly round-to-oval nuclei, one or more prominent nucleoli, and abundant cytoplasm. This class may be subdivided into plasmacytoid and clear-cell types based on cytoplasmic characteristics. A third category, pleomorphous, may be analogous to some of the peripheral T-cell lymphomas (LYMPHOMA, T-CELL, PERIPHERAL) recorded in both the United States and Japan.
