Primary testicular plasmacytoma is extremely rare and only a few cases have been reported. Testicular involvement in the course of multiple myeloma is just as rare and it implies a poor prognosis, expressing an acceleration of the malignant process. We present the case of a patient with multiple myeloma presenting as a testicular mass. The literature is reviewed and testicular involvement in plasma cell neoplasms is discussed.
