Abstract
Lymphomas of the bladder are rare lesions, representing approximately 0.2% of the primary neoplastic lesions and approximately 1.8% of the secondary lesions in this organ. The authors report the case of a 41-year old patient with secondary lymphoma of the bladder occurring 2 years after treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, diagnosed by biopsy of cervical lymph node, and analyze the clinical and prognostic aspects of bladder lymphomas.
Highlights
Lymphomas of the bladder are rare lesions, representing approximately 0.2% of the primary neoplastic lesions and approximately 1.8% of the secondary lesions in this organ (1)
Patients with bladder lymphomas can be divided into 3 groups, according to their clinical presentation: 1) primary cases in bladder, 2) cases occurring in bladder as a manifestation of systemic disease, and 3) secondary cases, with clinical history of malignant lymphoma recurring in bladder
The authors report the case of a 41-year old patient with secondary lymphoma of the bladder occurring 2 years after treatment for “non-Hodgkin” lymphoma, diagnosed by biopsy of cervical lymph node
Summary
Patients with bladder lymphomas can be divided into 3 groups, according to their clinical presentation: 1) primary cases in bladder, 2) cases occurring in bladder as a manifestation of systemic disease, and 3) secondary cases, with clinical history of malignant lymphoma recurring in bladder. The main sites of primary involvement are peripheral lymph nodes, bone marrow and spleen (2). The authors report the case of a 41-year old patient with secondary lymphoma of the bladder occurring 2 years after treatment for “non-Hodgkin” lymphoma, diagnosed by biopsy of cervical lymph node.
