Abstract
Penile lymphoma is a rare entity. Patients are often elderly, and present with an ulcerated painless mass on the shaft of the penis, strongly mimicking the more common diagnoses of infection, trauma or squamous cell carcinoma. Examination, radiological investigation and ultimately biopsy of the lesion is essential in making the diagnosis and guiding treatment. Herein, we present a case of diffuse large B cell lymphoma in the penis of an elderly gentleman, and review the salient histopathology regarding this uncommon entity.
期刊介绍:
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
