title: [Assymptomatic prostatic infiltration by chronic lymphocytic leukemia].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Report of a case of leukemic infiltration of the prostate as an incidental CT finding.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe a case of a 60-year-old male suffering from chronic lymphocytic leukemia. A routine-performed CT showed multiple lymphadenopathies and an hypodense area in the left prostatic lobe. The patient was sent to our department to carry out a transrectal ultrasound and prostatic biopsy. He didn't relate any urinary symptoms.
  
  
  RESULTS
  By the prostate rectal examination the gland felt hard and with no well defined limits. The transrectal ultrasound showed heterogene parenchyma and several hyperechoic areas by a bad circumscribed prostate. The pathological analysis reported a diffuse infiltration of the gland by chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although the relapse of hematological tumors to the prostate has been described previously, there is no published case to our knowledge of a leukemic prostate infiltration in an assymptomatic patient as an incidental finding by an imaging procedure.
