  • Title: [Genitourinary manifestations of lymphoma].

    Abstract:
    Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of the genitourinary system is a very rare disease. Only 1 % of NHL are primary genitourinary lymphomas, most commonly of testicular origin. Secondary infiltration from disseminated lymphoma can be found in all the genitourinary organs. We report on five patients with genitourinary lymphoma who were diagnosed at our department: one case of primary testicular lymphoma and four patients with secondary lymphomatous infiltration of kidney, bladder, prostate and testicles, respectively. The clinical courses are described and the current literature is reviewed. The operation could be restricted to a biopsy for assurance of the diagnosis. However, the mostly radical procedures are performed for curative purposes after an incorrect diagnosis of a malignant organ cancer without even recognizing or considering NHL in the differential diagnosis.
