摘要：
Side effects of long-term use of azathioprine in myasthenia gravis are infrequently reported. We present a patient who developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma after eight years of azathioprine treatment for myasthenia gravis. He presented unusually with testicular lymphoma spreading to the prostate and the illness followed a particularly aggressive course.
