ABSTRACT
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.

OBJETIVO: Dar a conocer un caso de presentación atípica de linfoma vesical primario tratado en nuestro hospital, así como revisar la bibliografía de este tipo de tumores, que representan el 0.2% de los tumores vesicales, siendo su forma de presentación más frecuente la hematuria macroscópica con coágulos.MÉTODOS: Presentamos el caso de un varón de 83 años, que acudió a Urgencias por oligoanuria de 48h de evolución, en el que se diagnosticó un tumor vesical.RESULTADO: La anatomía patológica resulto ser un linfoma vesical primario de células B.CONCLUSIONES: El linfoma vesical primario es una entidad poco frecuente, que cursa de forma indistinguible a otros tumores vesicales, presentando una buena respuesta al tratamiento con quimioterapia(AU)
