Publication date: Available online 15 March 2019Source: Urology Case ReportsAuthor(s): Alex Galante, Ruth Jaya Asirvatham, Lawrence L. YeungAbstractNon-Hodgkin lymphoma of the prostate is uncommon.

Lower urinary tract symptoms attributed to lymphoma of the prostate can be refractory to systemic treatments as well as transurethral resection. This case provides the first description of the longitudinal clinical course of treatment-refractory localized Non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the prostate.
