Abstract

Primary lymphoma of the prostate is a rare condition, representing 0.09% of prostatic malignancies. The clinical presentation of malignant lymphoma of the prostate is difficult to distinguish from other prostatic diseases. Systemic symptoms are rare. Treatments include surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. We report a case of primary lymphoma of the prostate in a male patient who presented with lower urinary tract symptoms.

Keywords: Follicular lymphoma; non-Hodgkin lymphoma; prostate.
