“…Primary malignant lymphoma of the prostate represents 0.09% of prostate neoplasms and 0.1% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas [1]. The ages of the reported patients ranged from 5 to 89 years (mean, 62 years).…”

We herein report a case of primary lymphoma of the prostate, which arose in an 85-year-old male with dysuria. CT and MRI examinations demonstrated a large mass in the prostate. A transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy of the prostate was performed. The histological examination showed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The large lesion in the prostate showed spontaneous regression. Spontaneous regression of primary lymphoma of the prostate has not been reported previously. The spontaneous regression of primary lymphoma of the prostate observed in this patient suggests that observation may represent a viable treatment option following a biopsy that has provided a histopathological diagnosis.

“…In our case, it was difficult to give the patient chemotherapy, because he had suffered from DIC until we obtained the histopathological diagnosis. However, a good prognosis has recently been reported for cases of primary prostatic lymphoma treated with chemotherapy alone or chemoradiotherapy [13–15]. As the R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, hydroxy daunorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) regimen had become the new standard for nodal DLBCL, as in our case, some patients have been treated successfully with rituximab-combined chemotherapy [16, 17].…”

Here, we report a case of prostatic abscess probably due to malignant lymphoma of the prostate. An 82-year-old man was referred to our hospital with chief complaints of urinary frequency and discomfort on urination. Antibiotics were prescribed, but the symptoms remained and intermittent fever appeared. The patient was diagnosed with prostatic abscess by computed tomography (CT). Digital rectal examination (DRE) revealed soft prostate, and thick pus was milked out from the extrameatus by prostatic massage. For drainage, we performed transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Drainage by TURP was successful as CT clearly showed reduction of prostatic abscess after the operation. Nevertheless, intermittent fever did not improve and the patient's general condition deteriorated. The day before the patient died, histopathological analysis showed prostatic abscess probably due to malignant lymphoma of the prostate and incidental adenocarcinoma. This is the first report of prostatic abscess with malignant lymphoma involving the prostate.

“…Nearly a quarter of NHLs are diagnosed as indolent NHL. One third of NHLs are extranodal, however it is uncommon for the lower urinary tract to be involved [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Primary carcinoid tumors of the prostate and primary small cell carcinoma of the prostate are also seen very rarely [18].…”
