Abstract

Primary follicular lymphoma of the prostate is rare. This case report and literature review literature describes a 74-year old male patient who presented with worsening urinary symptoms, and imaging showing prostatomegaly compressing and displacing the rectum. He ultimately underwent a Millen retropubic prostatectomy for a prostate of 692 cc. The histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis as follicular lymphoma. His lymphoma underwent high-grade transformation with leptomeningeal involvement.

Keywords: Follicular lymphoma; Prostatic neoplasm; Prostatomegaly.
