Primary Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma of the prostate presenting as haematuria

We report a rare case of Primary Non-Hodgkins lymphoma of prostate presenting as an emergency with gross haematuria. A review of literature is also discussed. A 71 year old man presented to Emergency department with gross haematuria and was found to have grossly enlarged right lobe of the prostate on digital rectal examination. Histology confirmed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the prostate. CT scan revealed a para-aortic lymphadenopathy which resolved with chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy. The patient remains disease free more than 5 years after initial diagnosis. The treatment and prognosis of primary lymphoma of prostate is same as with other nodal lymphomas. Primary or secondary lymphoma of the prostate should also be considered in patients presenting with haematuria. Cystoscopy and prostate biopsies should be taken to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment with chemo-radiotherapy can provide lasting benefit.
