Abstract

The prostate is a rare site for the occurrence of lymphoma and accounts for 0.1% of newly diagnosed lymphomas. Patients with prostatic lymphoma exhibit similar symptoms to that of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate carcinoma, such as obstructive and irritative urinary signs. Therefore, due to its rare occurrence, it is difficult to distinguish between primary lymphoma of the prostate and other etiologies. We present a unique case of an elderly individual who presented with enlarged prostate and was found to, concurrently, have mantle zone lymphoma of the prostate.
