Abstract
The most frequent primary lymphomas of the bladder are the low-grade B-cell- derived non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas of the MALT type, including Burkitt’s lymphoma. Primary genitourinary localization of lymphomas is uncommon and, in particular supra vesical development of Burkitt lymphoma. The continuous progress of treatment by chemotherapy has changed the pejorative prognosis of this disease into a good one.
