title: Prostate cancer mimicking malignant lymphoma.
abstract: We report three patients evaluated on a medical service for lymphoma-like signs and symptoms. Although none had prostate or bone symptomatology, all three were found to have metastatic prostate cancer. These cases emphasize the propensity of prostate cancer to metastasize to lymph nodes as well as bones. Diagnostic and therapeutic implications are discussed.
