Background chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients have a high risk of occurrence of secondary cancers. This risk is three times higher for all cancers and eight times higher for skin cancer. The coexistence of CLL and adenocarcinoma of the prostate is rare. Case presentation We report a case of a66-year-old man who underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate carcinoma. The final histopathological diagnosis of Gleason 7 adenocarcinoma of the prostate with incidental Rai stage I chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) was made. No further investigations or treatment was offered due to the age and low disease stage. At the last follow-up of 12 months, the patient is alive, without disease progression for both lymphoma and prostate, with a PSA value of 0.03 ng/ml. Conclusion Early detection of lymphoma after radical prostatectomy will allow optimal management. The analysis of this link requires, therefore, additional investigations.

“…However, author studies showed that patients with 17p deletion, 6q deletion, or 11q deletion and/or trisomy 12 had an increased risk of developing other cancers compared with other patients [9]. Litterature review showed a good prognosis of CLL diagnosed after radical prostatectomy [1,7]. Due to the risk of developing prostate cancer in patients diagnosed with LLC, some author reported the need of prostatic cancer screening using PSA test [6].…”

IntroductionNon-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a common disease, but primary lymphoma of the prostate is rare.Material and methodsHere we present two cases of primary NHL of the prostate and a review of the relevant literature.ResultsBoth of them had no abnormal lymph node or hepatolienal enlargement. The first case underwent prostatic biopsy which indicated that it was NHL. The patient underwent combination chemotherapy three times, then a radical cystoprostatectomy. In the second case, the prostatic biopsy was not helpful for diagnosis. Therefore a radical prostatectomy was performed before the proper chemotherapy been given. He died half a year later because of a cerebrovascular accident.ConclusionsWe think it is difficult to get an accurate early diagnosis when the lymphoma occurs only in the prostate. Even the prostatic biopsy could not provide clear evidence. Early and appropriate treatment can extend the survival time and improve the quality of life.
