| Description | Low-grade B-cell mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma can rarely present primarily in extranodal sites other than stomach, which is the most common site for it. Until now only four cases of primary prostatic MALTomas have been described in the literature and we report the fifth. We describe a case of primary prostatic MALToma in a 67-year-old man and the diagnosis was made on the trans-urethral resection specimen of the prostate. As the disease was limited to prostate (stage IEA), the patient was treated with external beam radiation therapy to a total dose of 4400cGy in 22 fractions. The patient achieved completed remission and has remained free of disease in the following 36 months. |
