Introduction:
A higher frequency of second malignancies is observed in patients with prostate cancer. We report a case of indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosed 2 years after prostate carcinoma.
Case Report:
A 65-year-old man with diagnosis of localized prostate adenocarcinoma was presented with fatigue 2 years after prostatectomy operation. Abdominal ultrasonography showed hepatomegaly and paraaortocaval, parailiac, and perivascular multiple lymph nodes. The complete blood count revealed anemia and thrombocytopenia. Bone marrow biopsy demonstrated small lymphocytic lymphoma.
Conclusion:
Lymphoma should be suspected in cases with newly appeared adenopathy and/or cytopenias during follow-up. In patients with clinically organ-confined prostate cancer, indolent lymphoma should be in the differential diagnosis of newly appeared lymphadenopathy.
