Primary lymphoma of the prostate is rare. It represents 0.09% of all prostate neoplasias, and 0.1% of all non-Hogdkin lymphomas.[1] Secondary involvement of the gland is the most common presentation in these cases.[2] Moreover, this type of lymphoma tends to occur in elderly men.[3] We report the case of a 74-yearold patient who presented with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to lymphoma of the prostate. We have discussed the main clinical features, and treatment of this rare condition in the light of the literature.
