Primary prostate lymphoma: a rare presentation of lower urinary tract symptoms in young aged patient

Primary prostatic lymphoma is a rare prostate malignancy that accounts for 0.09% of prostate cancer and 0.1% of lymphoma. Clinical misdiagnosis is common as majority of cases present with non-specific urinary symptoms like other prostatic diseases or prostatic cancer. Early diagnosis is of significant paramount as prognosis is dependent on histological type and tumour staging at the time of diagnosis. Urologists should remain aware of rare histological types of prostate cancer as delayed diagnosis of primary prostate lymphoma can be detrimental and lead to advanced disease causing serious sequelae i.e renal failure in addition to the primary pathology.
