Abstract
OBJECTIVE We report a case of diffuse large B-cell urethral lymphoma initial presenting with non-healing urethra ulcer. CASE REPORT A 68-year-old woman presented with a non-healing urethral ulcer accompanied with vulvar pruritus, which failed to medical treatment. Her medical history was unremarkable, lacking fever, weight loss or unexplained fatigue. There were no enlarged lymph nodes or palpable liver or spleen upon physical examination. Pelvic examination revealed an ulcerative lesion arising from the posterior wall of the urethral meatus. Cystourethroscopy showed no bladder involvement. Surgical excision of the urethral ulcer was done and immunohistochemical report showed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Bone marrow needle biopsy and computed tomography were done and the diagnosis of primary diffuse large B-cell urethral lymphoma stage IEA was made. She underwent six cycles of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone and rituximab and was free of disease for 51 months. CONCLUSION This report of urethral lymphoma was presented as a non-healing ulcer initially, which was totally different previous reports, presenting with bleeding, either vaginal or urinary, urinary frequency, dysuria, urine retention and self-perceived mass, suggesting that unhealed ulcer on the perineal area should be promptly evaluated and avoidance of unnecessary delayed therapy for possible curable disease.

Abstract
From 2009 to 2017, we identified 9 cases of plasma cell neoplasms on biopsies of the bladder in patients without a history of plasma cell myeloma or transplantation (6 men and 3 women). Four of the nine showed amyloid deposition, of which one additionally revealed a clear cell adenocarcinoma of the bladder. Follow-up was obtained in 7 cases. Of 3 cases (including 2 with amyloid) for which electrophoresis and immunofixation results were obtained, the 2 amyloid cases showed evidence of serum or urine paraproteins: serum IgM kappa in a patient with kappa light chain-restricted plasma cell neoplasm and urine IgA lambda in a patient with lambda light chain-restricted plasma cell neoplasm. By way of contrast, 1 case with kappa light chain-restricted plasma cell neoplasm in the absence of amyloid showed no serum monoclonal protein. Bone marrow biopsy results were obtained in the 2 amyloid cases revealing a population of 5% or less plasma cells with no assessment of clonality and, thus, were not diagnostic of plasma cell myeloma. In congruence, the 2 amyloid cases also showed no radiologic evidence of systemic plasma cell myeloma. One patient with plasma cell neoplasm only received chemotherapy and radiation without subsequent biopsies; one patient with plasma cell neoplasm, amyloid, and clear cell adenocarcinoma received radiation with an absence of neoplastic disease on subsequent biopsies. In addition, no evidence of systemic amyloid was found in the cases with bladder amyloidosis. Plasma cell neoplasms of the bladder, with and without amyloid deposition, are rare; this is the first known case series. In 7 cases with follow-up, plasma cell myeloma did not appear to manifest in a 1- to 127-month follow-up. However, paraproteins were identified on further testing in 2 cases with amyloid. Although bladder plasma cell neoplasms with and without amyloid tend to have a favorable prognosis in short-term follow-up, our study supports the need for additional workup for systemic disease, particularly in those with concurrent amyloidosis.

Abstract
Primary urethral non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is uncommon. This case study reports the case of a 52-year-old woman with a light red mass at the urethral orifice. Her clinical manifestations included frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, and occasionally blood in urine. The tumor was surgically removed, and the pathological and immunohistochemistry examination confirmed the presence of a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Examination using positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) revealed multiple hypermetabolic lymph nodes next to the external iliac vessels and bilateral inguinal regions, and focal hypermetabolic lesions in the vulvar nodules (consistent with the changes caused by lymphoma infiltration). Eight cycles of chemotherapy with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and dexamethasone (R-CHOP) were prescribed after surgery. Re-examination using PET/CT showed lack of hypermetabolic tumor recurrence signs, and the presence of multiple slightly large lymph nodes in the lateral iliac vessels and inguinal regions, but without significant lymph node metabolism increases. To date, only fifteen cases of primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the urethra (including this one) have been reported in the literature. Therefore, we reviewed the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of DLBCL based on the existing literature to help characterize this rare disease.

Abstract
A 61-year-old female presented with the complaints of fever and left back pain. She had previously undergone bone marrow transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia and achieved remission. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed left hydronephrosis and suspected tumor lesions in the right upper ureter and left lower ureter. Ureteroscopy was performed for a diagnosis. A yellowish tumor was detected in the left lower ureter, and tissue biopsy was performed. Two weeks after the examination, abdominal CT revealed ascites and retroperitoneal dissemination. The results of the ascites cytology showed infiltration by leukemia cells, and the patient was diagnosed as having recurrent leukemia. A week later, she died. The ureteral tumor was diagnosed as a granulocytic sarcoma. Granulocytic sarcoma, a condition characterized by mass formation outside the bone marrow by granulocytic cells, is classified as a myeloid sarcoma, occurring in an estimated 2-8% of patients with myeloid leukemia. The possibility of granulocytic sarcoma should be considered when treating patients with a history of leukemia.

Abstract
Myeloid sarcoma involving the genitourinary system is a rare complication associated with acute myelogenous leukemia or other myeloproliferative disorders. The diagnosis is made by pathologic findings of diffuse infiltration of intermediate-size neoplastic cells and fibrosis of the affected organ. Immunohistochemically, the cells stain positive for myeloperoxidase, CD45, and CD117 but negative for CD34. Treatment involves local surgical extirpation, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. We report the second known case of myeloid sarcoma involving the epididymis in a patient with a history of acute myelogenous leukemia.

Abstract
Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a very rare disease that either presents with acute myeloid leukemia or as relapse of acute myeloid leukemia. The common sites include the small intestine, skin, bone, and lymph nodes. We present an unusual case of MS presenting with acute renal failure (ARF) and bilateral ureteral obstruction. Ultrasonography showed bilateral hydronephrosis and a large pelvic mass displacing the uterus. Pelvic mass biopsy showed fibroadipose tissue with diffuse neoplastic cell infiltration and immunostaining was positive for leukocyte common antigen (LCA) and myeloperoxidase consistent with myeloid sarcoma. Bone marrow biopsy revealed 63% myeloblasts. The patient died the 17th day of induction therapy. We came across only four MS cases in English literature that presented with ARF. To our knowledge, this case is the first description of myeloid sarcoma presenting with ARF and bilateral ureteral obstruction not originating from urogenital system. Physicians should consider possible hematological malignancies in patients with similar presentation.

Abstract
Myeloid sarcoma (MS) of the lower urinary tract is rare. We describe a 47-year-old man with hematuria, who was subsequently found to have MS involving bladder and epididymis. The neoplasm was composed predominantly of blasts that expressed CD68, CD117, myeloperoxidase, and lysozyme, with occasional immature eosinophils. Although blood and bone marrow examinations showed no morphologic evidence of leukemia, conventional cytogenetic studies of marrow demonstrated inv(16)(p13q22) in 4 of 20 metaphases; fluorescence in situ hybridization of the bladder neoplasm also showed inv(16). Following chemotherapy, the patient has been in complete remission for 32 months. In our literature review, we identified 7 cases of MS involving bladder, only 3 without evidence of an associated myeloid neoplasm in marrow, none with cytogenetic data. A high index of suspicion is required to establish the diagnosis of MS involving bladder. Cytogenetic analysis is useful for both demonstrating minimal marrow disease and classifying MS in paraffin-embedded tissue sections.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma is characterized by neoplastic proliferation of a single clone of plasma cells engaged in the production of a monoclonal protein. This condition affects mainly the bone marrow, but extramedullary manifestations can be seen in any organ. Urinary bladder involvement is extremely rare, with only 14 cases reported in the literature to our knowledge. Herein, we report a large extramedullary bladder plasmacytoma arising in a patient with history of multiple myeloma. A 78-year-old woman with history of multiple myeloma, currently in remission, presented with a large intravesical tumor. Because the tumor was considered to have characteristics of anaplastic neoplasm from transitional cell origin with evidence of deep muscular invasion, a radical cystectomy was performed. A subsequent microscopic evaluation of the cystectomy specimen revealed round cells with an eccentric cartwheel-like nucleus suggestive of plasmacytoma. The diagnosis was further confirmed with immunohistochemical studies. It is difficult, according to the literature, to distinguish bladder plasmacytoma from anaplastic transitional cell tumors. It is important to provide the pathologist with an appropriate history and to have a high index of suspicion for bladder plasmacytoma in patients with previous diagnosis of multiple myeloma and bladder mass.

Abstract
We report a case of granulocytic sarcoma of the urinary bladder, with no evidence of hematologic involvement. The patient was initially misdiagnosed and was treated with chemotherapy for transitional carcinoma grade 3. Despite this treatment, the clinical features of the patient progressed, and a repeated biopsy yielded the correct diagnosis. Three cases of granulocytic sarcoma of the urinary bladder have been reported in published studies, with only one of these primary. To our knowledge, ours is the second case of granulocytic sarcoma of the urinary bladder presenting with urologic symptoms but without hematologic findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to reveal the clinical characteristics of nonleukemic granulocytic sarcoma (GS) and an association between the therapeutic regimens and the nonleukemic period. METHOD Clinical records of 2 patients reported here and 72 patients gathered using a literature search on Medline from other institutions were analyzed. The patients consisted of 57 patients who preceded acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL) and 17 patients who did not develop ANLL. These patients were divided into 3 groups by therapeutic regimens; Group I included 12 patients who received only biopsy or surgical resection of the tumor, Group II was 20 patients who received local irradiation for the tumor, and Group III consisted of 42 patients who received systemic chemotherapy. The nonleukemic periods between these groups were compared. In Group III, the period in the patients who were treated with chemotherapy given to ANLL was compared with that in the patients who received chemotherapy used for malignant lymphoproliferative disorders (MLPDs). RESULTS Thirty-five patients (47%) initially were misdiagnosed, and the disease was most often malignant lymphoma. Preferential sites of GS were the small intestine, mediastinum, epidural site, uterus, and ovary, which often are difficult for the detection and diagnosis in addition to the skin and lymph nodes known commonly. The nonleukemic period after the diagnosis of GS was significantly longer in Group III than in the other groups (median, 12 months in Group III vs. 3 and 6 months in Groups I and II, respectively). The aggressive chemotherapy given to ANLL led to a longer nonleukemic period than the chemotherapy used for MLPDs. CONCLUSIONS To reduce the risk of subsequent ANLL in patients with nonleukemic GS, it is important that accurate histologic diagnosis is established initially for GS and that all isolated cases of GS, even those that appear to be cured by resection or irradiation of the tumor, are treated with intensive chemotherapy similar to that used to treat ANLL during the nonleukemic period as soon as possible.

Abstract
An acute myeloblastic leukemia was found in a 3.5-year-old Holstein cow. The neoplasm was characterized by massive tumor growths, and there were multiple tumor nodules in the dermis or subcutis and a large tumor mass in the mediastinum. This tumor showed negative reactivity for CD3, CD79a, major histocompatibility complex class II and myeloid/histiocyte antigen. Ultrastructural features such as dispersed cytoplasmic granules and poorly developed organelles were compatible with those of early promyelocytes.

Abstract
We report a case of extramedullary myeloid cell tumor of the urinary bladder in an elderly male with a three year history of myelodysplastic syndrome (refractory anemia with excess blasts), noninvasive papillary transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder, and in situ transitional cell carcinoma of the left ureter. Light microscopy demonstrated a poorly differentiated neoplasm composed of medium to large cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm. The tumor cells showed immunohistochemical expression of myeloperoxidase, lysozyme, CD15, CD68 and CD43. Bone marrow examination following cystectomy demonstrated refractory anemia with excess blasts (6-10%) and a normal karyotype. Cytogenetics, approximately 1 year after cystectomy, demonstrated a deletion of the short arm of chromosome number 12. Four years after presentation, the patient succumbed to pulmonary aspergillosis.

Abstract
Patients with malignant lymphoma of the bladder were studied, and three clinical groups were defined: those with primary lymphoma localized in the bladder, lymphoma presenting in the bladder as the first sign of disseminated disease (nonlocalized lymphoma), and recurrent bladder involvement by lymphoma in patients with a history of malignant lymphoma (secondary lymphoma). The differences in these groups regarding lymphoma type, clinical presentation, and clinical outcome were studied. Mayo Clinic Tissue Registry records from 1940 to 1996 were searched to identify patients with lymphomas involving the bladder. The lymphomas were classified based on review of the histology and immunophenotype performed by immunoperoxidase methods. Clinical records were reviewed. Presenting symptoms included urinary frequency, dysuria, hematuria, and lower abdominal and back pain. Primary lymphoma was present in six patients. All were B-cell lineage low-grade lymphomas of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type. No patient had recurrent lymphoma or died of lymphoma. Nonlocalized bladder lymphoma occurred in 17 patients; one with low-grade lymphoma of the MALT type, four with follicle center lymphomas, and 12 with large cell lymphomas. Excluding two patients who died postoperatively, median survival was 9 years. Six patients died of lymphoma in the follow-up period. Secondary bladder lymphoma occurred in 13 patients: two with low-grade lymphoma of the MALT type, one with follicle center lymphoma, one with mantle cell lymphoma, and nine with diffuse large cell lymphomas. Median survival in this group was 0.6 years. Low-grade lymphoma of the MALT type was the most frequent type of primary bladder lymphoma and was associated with an excellent prognosis. The bladder can be the presenting site of lymphomatous involvement in patients with more widespread disease. Survival in this group is quite favorable and is presumably dependent on lymphoma histologic type, stage of disease, and other prognostic factors. Bladder involvement by recurrent lymphoma is a sign of widely disseminated disease and is associated with a very poor prognosis.

Abstract
Plasmacytoma is an unusual soft-tissue collection of neoplastic monoclonal plasma cells. The most common site of presentation is the upper respiratory tract, although any site of disease is theoretically possible. We report the fifth known case of primary urethral plasmacytoma. This case is unique in that the patient received only radiation as definitive treatment and has remained well, without recurrence for more than 12 years.

Abstract
Bladder involvement by extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare condition. A 46-year-old woman with known IgA-lambda multiple myeloma who developed this condition is described. The patient suffered from massive hematuria, which led to hypovolemic shock. Prompt supportive treatment by blood transfusions, fulguration of the bleeding mucosa and continuous bladder irrigation stopped the bleeding. Subsequent bladder irradiation lead only to partial response of the tumor.

Abstract
Primary extranodal lymphoma of the female urethra is rare. We present case 10 and review the literature. Management in the past has varied markedly. Strategies have included simple excision, external beam and intracavitary radiation therapy, and multiple agent chemotherapy. The majority of patients have done well: 7 of 10 are alive with no evidence of disease. Newly diagnosed patients should undergo complete staging with the Ann Arbor staging system and the tumors should be classified histologically according to the Working Formulation for Clinical Usage. Therapy must be individualized but in most cases we recommend that patients be treated as if they have systemic illness, with multimodality therapy.

Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) appearances of two patients with primary bladder non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are presented with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) correlation in one. The differences between primary and secondary bladder lymphoma with respect to their clinical presentation, course and prognosis are described. Bladder lymphoma is a rare tumour which often presents as a large multilobular submucosal mass, and such an appearance may suggest the diagnosis. Bladder lymphoma, however, cannot be differentiated from the more common transitional cell carcinoma on the basis of CT attenuation values or enhancement patterns, or MRI signal characteristics. The diagnosis must, therefore, be made by histology. Other differential diagnoses and the role of various imaging techniques in the diagnosis and management of bladder lymphoma are considered.

Abstract
A patient with primary malignant lymphoma of the urinary bladder is presented. Grossly, the bladder showed multiple submucosal masses. Histologically and immunohistochemically, diffuse B-cell lymphoma of the medium-sized cell type was revealed. On the basis of clinicopathological features, the present case resembled previously recorded cases of bladder lymphoma. The pathogenesis of this primary bladder lymphoma was presumably associated with follicular or chronic cystitis. Primary lymphoma of the bladder is a condition that is very rarely included in series of extranodal lymphomas, and there is a curious sex difference in its occurrence rates between Japan and Western countries. Primary lymphoma of the bladder may be considered a lymphoma that originates fro mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue.

Abstract
Plasmacytoma, which is a localized malignant plasma cell tumor, occurs rarely and is found mostly in the upper airways of older patients. Two urethral plasmacytomas have been reported, 1 of which was a primary lesion. We describe a primary plasmacytoma of the urethra in a 23-year-old woman who had been exposed to diethylstilbestrol in utero. The patient underwent transurethral resection of the tumor and radiation therapy and has been free of disease for more than 10 years.

Abstract
The clinical and histopathological findings are reported in 3 primary malignant lymphomas of the lower urinary tract. Two arose in the bladders of a 70-year-old man and a 67-year-old woman. The first was histologically low grade and the patient remains free of disease after more than 7 years. The second was an intermediate grade neoplasm and the patient died after 39 months. The third tumour was found in the urethra of a 76-year-old woman and it appears to represent only the third primary malignant lymphoma described at this site. The bladder is an uncommon primary site of extranodal lymphoma. Most patients present with haematuria and cystoscopy shows 1 or more solid, round, tumour-like masses. Histological grade, particularly follicle formation, appears to have predictive value.

Abstract
Invasion of the bladder by lymphoma rarely is encountered clinically. The characteristics on magnetic resonance imaging have not been described. We report a case of secondary nonHodgkin's lymphoma of the bladder in which we show the ability of magnetic resonance imaging to visualize the lymphomatous invasion and to monitor the response to chemotherapy.

Abstract
Two cases of patients with prostatic granulocytic sarcoma in whom urinary obstruction occurred are presented. The diagnosis was made by tissue examination with hematoxylin and eosin and specific esterase stains. One patient had a myelodysplastic syndrome and the other patient had acute myeloblastic leukemia. In both cases the diagnosis of prostatic granulocytic sarcoma was unexpected. Granulocytic sarcomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of urinary obstruction in patients with myeloproliferative or myelodysplastic syndromes.

Abstract
Primary lymphoma of the bladder is a rare entity, and when found in such an unusual location it frequently is difficult to distinguish between a lymphoma and an undifferentiated carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining techniques have been used to identify tumor cell origins when the tissue type or a primary site of involvement is unknown. We report a case of primary lymphoma (nonHodgkin's type) of the bladder and the use of immunohistochemical staining to distinguish definitively tissue type and then specific immunotype.

Abstract
Urinary tract involvement by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is uncommon and whilst extranodal disease may be the first manifestation of NHL in 15% of patients, the primary site of origin of NHL in the urinary tract is very rare. At the time of diagnosis, apparently primary urogenital lymphoma is often widely disseminated, with a correspondingly poor prognosis.
