[Case of primary malignant lymphoma of the bladder]

We report a case of primary malignant lymphoma of the bladder. An 87-year-old female visited our hospital for incidental bladder tumor. Cystoscopic examination demonstrated a non-papillary tumor over 10 mm in diameter. We performed transurethral resection of the bladder tumor. Histological examination showed malignant lymphoma, diffuse large B cell type. After further examination, it was diagnosed as primary malignant lymphoma of the bladder, stage IA E(Ann Arbor classification). We performed six courses of R-CHOP regimen (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, predonisolone). We did not find any local or distant recurrences after eight months' follow up.
