Lymphoma of the prostate is exceedingly rare. Much more common than primary lymphoma of the prostate id secondary involvement of malignant lymphomas originating at other sites. A variety of treatments have bee n used, including prostatectomy, radiotherapy or combinations of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Generally, the prognosis is very poor, and there is currently no consensus regarding treatment. We report on a patient with T-cell lymphoma who presented with symptoms of bladder neck obstruction. The patient has been asymptomatic and under complete remission after completion of doxorubicin-based chemotherapy for 2 cycles.
