Primary lymphoma of the bladder is a rare non-epithelial bladder tumour. It is usually non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma being its predominant subtype. Most of the literature has been limited to individual sporadic case reports. We present 2 cases of the MALT-type primary lymphoma of the urinary bladder which were treated in our unit. Both patients were females with a history of recurrent urinary tract infections. They were treated successfully with chemotherapy alone. We also present a review of the literature emphasising the clinical presentation, the morphological and immunophenotypic features and the various treatment modalities of this rarely seen bladder pathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
