[Primary lymphosarcoma of the prostate gland]

Two large tumor nodes of a total weight of about 100 g were removed from the prostate gland of a patient of 28 with the duration of the disease symptoms of approximately 3 1/2 months. Histological diagnosis of polymorphocellular sarcoma was made. On the 19th day postoperation the patient died with phlegmon of the small pelvis tissues in the presence of cachexia. The autopsy revealed a tumor of the prostate gland outgrowing into the soft tissues of the small pelvis without metastases. Histologically it was a diffuse prolymphocytic lymphosarcoma of the prostate gland with small-loop argirophilic reticulum. This neoplasia was combined with multiple glandular gastric polyps.
