TL;DR: The pathological and clinical features of 17 cases of malignant lymphoma of testis seen at Tata Memorial Hospital, Bombay, from the year 1941 through 1972 are presented.
Abstract: Summary The pathological and clinical features of 17 cases of malignant lymphoma of testis seen at Tata Memorial Hospital, Bombay, from the year 1941 through 1972 are presented. Malignant lymphoma accounts for 3–8 % of 445 histologically proved cases of testicular malignancies in our material. The material has been divided into 3 groups: (i) Testicular tumour as the only manifestation throughout the course of the disease (3 cases); (ii) Testicular tumour followed by dissemination during the course of the disease (12 cases); (iii) Testicular tumour following generalised lymphoma (2 cases). Bilateral testicular tumours are rare but when they do occur malignant lymphoma accounts for the larger number of cases. Of 4 bilateral testicular tumours found in the total number of 445 testicular malignancies 3 belonged to malignant lymphoma group. The maximum number of patients (14) were between the ages of 40 and 68 years. Two cases of lymphoma occurred in patients aged 5 years and 16 years respectively. Malignant lymphoma of testis is a disease with a poor prognosis. The majority of the patients died within a year following orchidectomy. One patient is alive and free from disease for 5 years and 6 months after orchidectomy. Hodgkin's disease of the testis is very rarely reported. We have seen 2 cases in our material.

TL;DR: This procedure is able to effect a cure in some cases and give good palliation in the majority of cases of localized advanced carcinoma of the tongue.
Abstract: A study of 26 cases of advanced carcinoma of the tongue treated by radical total glossectomy is presented. The selection of cases, the operative technique and the postoperative management are described. As seen from the follow-up of this series this procedure is able to effect a cure in some cases and give good palliation in the majority of cases of localized advanced carcinoma of the tongue. None of our patients needed postoperative laryngectomy for the complication of aspiration pneumonia.
