Abstract
An 8βyearβold boy presented with dysuria and acute retention of urine. Rectal examination showed a hard mass arising from the prostate. CT scan of the pelvis confirmed the presence of a large prostatic tumor causing bladder outflow obstruction. A provisional diagnosis of pelvic sarcoma was initially made. Biopsy of the tumor mass however, revealed nonβHodgkin's lymphoma of Tβcell type. The tumor showed very good response to chemotherapy and the urinary obstruction significantly improved with a week after starting therapy. Β© 1995 WileyβLiss, Inc.
