ABSTRACT
Bilateral synchronous testicular lymphoma is an uncommon presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A young man with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of both testes synchronously is described here. He underwent bilateral orchiectomy, received chemotherapy, and was in complete remission when there was a relapse in the kidneys. Salvage chemotherapy was given. The patient developed progression of the residual lesion subsequently and was started on palliation with chlorambucil and prednisolone. He was alive at 34 months after diagnosis with disease.

Metastasis to the orbit from pancreatic adenocarcinoma is rare. A 38-year-old man with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the right orbit at initial examination is described. Two months later he was diagnosed with a pancreatic primary tumor. The incidence and pattern of orbital metastasis in carcinomas is briefly discussed.
