Summary
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma rarely affects the prostate. This study describes uncommon plasmacytoid cells infiltrating the prostate, causing obstructive symptoms.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a diverse group of lymphoid malignancies.
- Prostate involvement by NHL is an exceptionally rare occurrence.
Observation:
- This report details a case of prostatic infiltration by NHL.
Findings:
- The infiltration was characterized by uncommon plasmacytoid cells.
- These cells were sufficient to induce clinical signs and symptoms of prostatic obstruction.
Implications:
- This case highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in prostatic obstruction.
- Understanding plasmacytoid NHL infiltration aids in accurate diagnosis and management.
