title: Primary prostatic involvement in non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
abstract: We report 3 cases of primary extranodal lymphoma of the prostate, an unusual extranodal presentation rarely diagnosed antemortem. Symptoms of prostatism associated with an enlarged hard prostate with pyuria and hematuria in younger patients should suggest the diagnosis. Urine cytologic examination should aid in the diagnosis of this condition.
