title: [Prostatic syndrome as presentation form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma].
abstract: Description of one case of a 66 years old patient who developed prostatic syndrome with obstructive renal insufficiency. The ultrasound study showed the existence of a large prostatic mass diagnosed by means of a biopsy as a non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The thoraco-abdominal computerized tomography ruled out the presence of distant adenopathy while bone marrow biopsy did not show lymphoma infiltration. Subsequently, the patient was given polichemotherapy following a CHOP scheme. After 6 cycles, a second CT was performed that showed disappearance of the previously described prostatic mass. Chlorambucil was given as maintenance therapy. The patient remains asymptomatic and disease-free nine months after discontinuing the polichemotherapy.
