ABSTRACT
Prostatic lymphoma represents 0.09% of malignant prostate tumors. Presentation includes usual signs of prostatism and most reported cases are discovered incidentally by prostate tissue obtained by transurethral resection of the prostate. The sensitivity by transrectal biopsy is 22%. Prostate lymphoma in most cases is indistinguishable from an adenocarcinoma, and sometimes it is possible to find a prostate poorly defined. Anatomopathological study intense lymphohistiocytic infiltrates are observed. We must take into account the possible existence of a systemic lymph node, so it is convenient to perform a myelogram, a bone marrow biopsy, CT chest and abdomen and bone scan. The diagnosis is confirmed by immunohistochemistry with detection of B cells in the immunostaining. Treatment consists of unclogging with improvement in urinary symptoms and cyclophosphamide-based chemotherapy, adriamycin, vincristine and prednisone + rituximab. We present a case of prostatic lymphoma considering their rarity in order to draw attention to this disease since it is important to suspect diagnosis to conduct a proper therapeutic approach. In this case, we found tumor activity after six cycles of chemotherapy; there were not retroperitoneal lymph nodes in the radiological follow-up.
