Primary lymphoma of the bladder: a report of three cases

Abstract

Background: Primary lymphoma of the bladder is rare and its management is an evolving field.

Aims: To highlight primary lymphoma of the bladder as a possible diagnosis in cases of bladder neoplasm and to illustrate the currently favoured management options.

Methods: Three cases of primary bladder lymphoma are reported and management is reviewed.

Results: Each of the three cases was managed differently with each management approach yielding a favourable outcome.

Conclusion: Chemotherapy combined, if necessary, with surgery or radiation therapy, should be the standard of care, depending on the full histological diagnosis.
