Methods: Patients with indications for RP were included.

We report a case of an 84-year-old male, former-smoker with a history of low-grade chronic lymphocytic leukemia, treated with chemotherapy, with a recurrence of the disease to retroperitoneal and iliac lymph nodes, splenomegaly, and thickening of the bladder wall.
