HERNANDEZ ALCARAZ, David et al. Bilateral obstructive uropathy as clinical presentation of primary bladder lymphoma. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2009, vol.62, n.3, pp.230-232. ISSN 0004-0614.

Objective: We report the event of an atypical presentation of primary bladder lymphoma, treated in our hospital, and review the literature of such tumors, representing 0,2% of bladder tumors, being macroscopic hematuria with clots the most frequent reason for patient consultation. Methods: We report the case of an 83 years old man who went to the emergency room because of oligoanuria of 48 hours of evolution. He was diagnosed of bladder tumor. Results: The pathology turned out to be a primary bladder lymphoma cell B. Conclusions: Primary bladder lymphoma is a rare entity that presents a similar behaviour to other bladder tumors, having a good response to treatment with chemotherapy.
