Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Patients with primary testicular lymphoma at diagnosis. Histological subtype included into the study is only Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (Attachment 2: WHO classification of lymphoma).

- Untreated patients
- Ann Arbor Stage IE and IIE. Bilateral testicular involvement at presentation will not be considered Stage IV. These patients may be included into the study and the final Ann Arbor stage (I or II) will be determined by the extent of nodal disease.
- Bidimensionally measurable or evaluable disease. Patients who have had all disease removed by surgery are eligible.
- Adequate haematological counts: ANC \> 1.0 x 109/L and PLTs count \> 75 x 109/L
- Cardiac ejection fraction ≥ 45% by MUGA scan or echocardiography
- Non peripheral neuropathy or any active non-neoplastic CNS disease.
- No other major life-threatening illnesses that may preclude chemotherapy
- Conjugated bilirubin ≤ 2 x ULN.
- Alkaline phosphatase and transaminases ≤ 2 x ULN.
- Creatinine clearances ≥ 45 ml/min.
- HIV negativity
- HBV negativity or patients with HBVcAb +, HbsAg -, HBs Ab+/- with HBV-DNA negative
- HCV negativity with the exception of patients with no signs of active chronic hepatitis histologically confirmed
- Life expectancy \> 6 months.
- Performance status \< 2 according to ECOG scale.
- No psychiatric illness that precludes understanding concepts of the trial or signing informed consent
- Written informed Consent
Exclusion
- Has known or suspected hypersensitivity or intolerance to rituximab
- History of clinically relevant liver or renal insufficiency; significant cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurologic, rheumatologic, hematologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disturbances

- Uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease including myocardial infarction within 6 months of enrollment, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure (Attachment 5, NYHA Classification of Cardiac Disease), uncontrolled angina, clinically significant pericardial disease, or cardiac amyloidosis
- History of clinically relevant hypotension
- CNS involvement (meningeal and/or brain involvement by lymphoma)
- Evolving malignancy within 3 years with the exception of localized non-melanomatous skin cancer
- HIV positivity
- HBV positivity with the exception of patients with HBVcAb +, HbsAg -, HBs Ab+/- with HBV-DNA negative
- HCV positivity with the exception of patients with no signs of active chronic hepatitis histologically confirmed
- Active opportunistic infection
- Receipt of extensive radiation therapy, systemic chemotherapy, or other antineoplastic therapy
- Exposure to Rituximab prior study entry
- Have received an experimental drug or used an experimental medical device within 4 weeks before the planned start of treatment. Concurrent participation in non-treatment studies is allowed, if it will not interfere with participation in this study.
