[Primary localization of malignant lymphoma in the urinary bladder?].

We report on the case of a malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma with primary location in the urinary bladder of an 83-year-old woman. Diagnosis was established by transurethral resection of the tumor and histological examination. No clinical signs (e.g. alterations of peripheral blood count) or tumor generalization were observed. To date only 86 cases of primary localization of lymphoma in the urinary bladder have been described, whereas secondary involvement occurs in 5.4-13% of cases.
