Primary prostate Burkitt's lymphoma resected with holmium laser enucleation of the prostate: A rare case report.

BACKGROUND

Primary prostate Burkitt's lymphoma is a rare and aggressive condition with a poor prognosis. Its clinical presentation can be challenging to differentiate from benign prostatic hyperplasia. Given the rarity of primary prostate Burkitt's lymphoma, its diagnosis and treatment remain unclear.

CASE SUMMARY: This report presents a case of a 57-year-old male with primary prostate Burkitt's lymphoma, initially misdiagnosed as prostatic hyperplasia. This case's operative process, intraoperative findings and postoperative management are discussed in detail.

CONCLUSION

Primary prostate lymphoma is difficult to distinguish from other prostate diseases. Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), a minimally invasive procedure, is crucial in diagnosing and treating this rare disease. Clinicians should remain vigilant and thoroughly combine physical examination, imaging and test results when encountering patients of younger age with small prostate size but a rapid progression of lower urinary tract symptoms. HoLEP is an essential diagnostic and therapeutic tool in managing primary prostate Burkitt's lymphoma.
