    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Hematology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Hematologic malignancies typically manifest systemically, with lower urinary tract involvement being exceptionally uncommon.
    • Understanding rare presentations is crucial for timely diagnosis and management of these aggressive diseases.

    Observation:

    • This study reviews six rare cases of hematologic tumors initially presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms.
    • Cases included four lymphomas (bladder, urethra, ureter) and two other tumors (extramedullary plasmacytoma and granulocytic sarcoma) both in the urinary bladder.

    Findings:

    • Lymphomas were the most common hematologic malignancy found in the urinary tract in this series.
    • A granulocytic sarcoma of the urinary bladder, presenting with urologic symptoms, is reported for the first time.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering hematologic malignancies in the differential diagnosis of unexplained lower urinary tract symptoms.
    • Emphasizes the need for further research into the pathogenesis and treatment of rare urinary tract hematologic tumors.
