Abstract
We report about two cases of cancer of the testis occurring 2 and 7 years after Hodgkin's disease treated with combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy. From an etiopathogenic point of view, this association may, of course, be accidental, but it may also have an iatrogenic origin or be caused by contiguous carcinogenesis, or even by an immune deficiency. In addition to orchidectomy, the therapeutic history of these patients requires an adaptation of the treatment of their tumors of the testes.
