Although lymphomas involving the prostate gland are rare, they should always be considered in the differential diagnosis. We report a case of primary prostatic NHL in a 70-year-old man presented with hematuria and urinary obstructive symptoms. Routine laboratory tests were within normal limits and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 0,01 ng/ml. The patient underwent radical prostatectomy. Histologically, two different coexisting patterns of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, infiltrating the prostatic tissue, were identified. The diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) presenting with an associated low-grade lymphoma of MALT-type was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The patient received chemotherapy without any complication and has been followed-up for 2 years since surgical resection with no recurrence. The clinicopathologic characteristics of prostatic lymphomas are discussed, while reviewing the current English-language literature.
尽管累及前列腺的淋巴瘤很罕见,但在鉴别诊断时应始终予以考虑。我们报告一例70岁男性原发性前列腺非霍奇金淋巴瘤,该患者表现为血尿和尿路梗阻症状。常规实验室检查结果正常,前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)为0.01 ng/ml。患者接受了根治性前列腺切除术。组织学检查发现,两种不同的非霍奇金淋巴瘤共存模式浸润了前列腺组织。免疫组织化学证实诊断为弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)伴相关的MALT型低级别淋巴瘤。患者接受化疗,无任何并发症,自手术切除后已随访2年,无复发。在回顾当前英文文献的同时,讨论了前列腺淋巴瘤的临床病理特征。
