Prostate cancer mimicking malignant lymphoma.
We report three patients evaluated on a medical service for lymphoma-like signs and symptoms.

These cases emphasize the propensity of prostate cancer to metastasize to lymph nodes as well as bones. Diagnostic and therapeutic implications are discussed.
