Bulíř D, Jandejsek J, Láska V, Wagenknecht L, Musil J. Tumor glans as a clinical manifestation of plasmablastic lymphoma.

We report a case of an elderly man who has presented with tumorous affection involving the uncircumcised penile glans and prepuce. Primary clinical examination gave strong suspicion for primary carcinoma of penis, therefore a suprapubic cystostomy and partial amputation of penis were

performed. Histopatological examination revealed uncommon diagnosis of plasmablastic lymphoma involving glans penis and prepuce. The vast majority of penile tumours are squamous cell carcinomas, primary malignant lymphoma of penis is extremely rare. As staging results were negative, no adjuvant systemic chemotherapy was neccesary. Hitological diagnosis of this pathological entity is challenging due to its rarity.

Keywords: Primary penile lymphoma, plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL), Epstein-Barr virus infection, partially penile amputation.
