Lymphoma of the prostate presenting as benign prostatic hypertrophy

A case of lymphocytic lymphoma involving the prostate is reported. Lymphomatous infiltration of the prostate had been mentioned infrequently in the literature, so that the incidence, prognosis, and treatment are not well known. Lymphomatous or leukemic infiltrate should be considered as a causative agent of prostatism, particularly in patients with hematologic abnormalities where chemotherapy may relieve the symptoms.
