A patient with rare primary lymphoma of the testis is presented. Several investigators have reported the prognosis in the majority of patients was associated with a poor outcome. In our case poor prognostic factors and the presence of many symptoms, such as fever, night sweets or weight loss significant influenced on the prognosis and the length of disease free-survival in patient with testicular lymphoma.
A patient with a rare primary lymphoma of the prostate is presented. Clinical symptoms may be a reason of mistake, that are highly suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatic adenocarcinoma. Before treatment all patients should have to determined the histopathological diagnosis (made by prostatic biopsy or by prostatectomy) because treatment of patients with primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the prostate is quite different then treatment of patients with prostatic adenocarcinoma. After treatment with combination chemotherapy appropriate for the clinical stage and the specific histological subtype our patient achieved a complete remission and remained free of disease after twelve months.

A case of conus medullaris tumour (ependymoma) is reported in which the presenting symptom was subarachnoid haemorrhage, which has left bladder dysfunction. 70-year-old patient was admitted to the Department of Neurology due to symptoms of conus medullaris lesion with retention of urine and diminished pain sensitivity in perianal zona. He had been hospitalized 30 years ago due to vomiting, headache and pain in lumbar region. The cerebrospinal fluid examination confirmed the diagnosis of subarachnoid haemorrhage. Cerebral angiography failed to show the source of bleeding. Myelography and spinal arteriography showed nor tumour neither vascular malformation. Only MRI examination performed after 30 years following the first symptoms of tumour made possible the correct diagnosis--tumour in vertebral canal at L1-L2 level compressing conus medullaris. Surgical procedure confirmed the diagnosis. Histopathological examination--ependymoma myxopapillare.
