Primary Bladder Lymphoma: Case Report
Abstract
Bladder carcinoma is the most common tumor of the urinary system. More than 90 % of malignant bladder cancers are transitional cell tumors. Non-transitional tumors of the bladder account for 5-7 % of all bladder tumors; 3 % squamous cell carcinoma, 2 % adenocarcinoma, 1 % indifferentiated carcinoma and, more rarely, small cell carcinomas and lymphoma. Primary lymphoma of the bladder is very rare. Although rare these tumors should be kept in mind by urologists and should be considered in unusual bladder masses. In this article, we present a case of primary bladder lymphoma who was operated with a preliminary diagnosis of bladder tumor.
