Primary follicular lymphoma of the prostate presenting with elevated PSA and a PI-RADS 3 lesion on MRI: A case report

Abstract

Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy diagnosed in men. PI-RADS 3 lesions on multiparametric MRI, when histologically proven malignant, overwhelmingly represent prostatic adenocarcinoma. Primary lymphoma of the prostate, especially follicular lymphoma, is exceedingly rare. To our knowledge, its presentation with a PI-RADS 3 lesion and elevated PSA has not been previously described. We report the case of a 68-year-old, healthy male presenting with elevated PSA and lower urinary tract symptoms found to have a PI-RADS 3 lesion. Prostate biopsy revealed low-grade follicular lymphoma, and staging showed no other lesions. The patient is currently being managed with close surveillance.
