Two homosexual men positive for human immunodeficiency virus with evidence of acquired cellular immunodeficiency were diagnosed recently to have seminoma of the testis. One man has the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome with lymphopenia, a low CD4:CD8 ratio, condylomata accuminata, pneumocystis carinii and cerebral toxoplasmosis, and 1 has an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome related complex with generalized lymphadenopathy showing follicular hyperplasia on biopsy, recurrent Herpes simplex infections and lymphopenia but a supranormal CD4:CD8 ratio. Neither patient has a known risk factor for testicular seminoma. Our report provides supportive evidence for the presence of an increased risk of seminoma of the testis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome related complex.
