Bladder involvement of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma diagnosed by a cytological study of the urine

Leukemia & Lymphoma

Abstract

The diagnosis of lymphoma involvement from the urine sediment has been rarely reported in the literature. We present a 78-year-old woman with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in whom a relapse of the disease was diagnosed due to the presence of lymphoma cells in the urine. The analysis of urine by flow cytometry demonstrated a clonal B-cell origin, with an identical immunophenotype to that of the initial lymphoma. This case emphasizes the interest of cytological studies of the urine in cases with suspected bladder involvement by lymphoma.

CNS Lymphoma

In CNS lymphoma, cancerous cells from lymph tissues or other parts of the body form tumors in the brain and/or spinal cord. Here is the latest research on this rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
