ABSTRACT
Following a short history of auto-transfusion performed during surgery the authors review, in connection with a case, the indications, contraindications and the advantages of the procedure. By making a comparison with the common type of transfusion they conclude that this method is worthy of application when severe loss of blood occurs during surgery and in the gynecological cases.

The authors present a case of primary malignant lymphoma of the prostate in a patient aged 62 years. The clinical aspect was not different from that of a common adenoma of the prostate, complicated by acute retention of urine. The patient benefited from surgery, and a classical method was applied (transvesical adenomectomy with Nowac drainage). Although the surgical treatment was nos completed with postoperative radiotherapy a remarkable survival was obtained, that went beyond 2 years, and the patient is still living in a satisfactory general condition.
