## TL;DR

A rare case of nasal-type lymphoma was found to initially appear in the testicle of a young man, along with adrenal gland involvement.

## Contribution

This is the first reported case of nasal-type lymphoma presenting initially in the testicle.

## Key findings

- Nasal-type lymphoma was diagnosed in a 24-year-old patient with testicular involvement.
- Bilateral adrenal involvement was also observed in this atypical presentation.

## Abstract

Nasal-type natural killer/T-cell lymphoma is a rare non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma. A distinct clinicopathological entity associated with the Epstein-Barr virus, it typically presents with otorhinolaryngeal symptomatology.

We report a rare case of a 24-year-old patient with nasal-type lymphoma with an atypical inaugural testicular presentation associated with the discovery of bilateral adrenal involvement.
