Malignant lymphomas rarely involve the urogenital tract, affecting 6.7% of patients. This low rate of urinary system involvement was similar for both Hodgkin

Area of Science:

Oncology
Urology

Background:

Malignant lymphomas can affect various organ systems.
Urogenital tract involvement by lymphoma is not extensively documented.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the incidence and patterns of urogenital tract involvement in patients with malignant lymphomas.
To analyze urogenital involvement in both Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of 1,068 patient records with malignant lymphomas over a 10-year period.
Analysis of urologic findings at autopsy, radiography, or operation.

Main Results:

6.7% of patients (72 out of 1,068) showed evidence of urogenital tract involvement by lymphoma.
Hodgkin's lymphoma involved the urogenital tract in 5.8% of cases (23 out of 400).

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma involved the urogenital tract in 7.3% of cases (49 out of 668).

Conclusions:

Urogenital tract involvement in malignant lymphomas is uncommon.
The rate of urogenital involvement is similar for Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
