【 摘 要 】

There is a paucity of management recommendations for patients with aggressive Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the bladder. A 57-year-old male patient presented with lower urinary tract symptoms underwent flexible cystoscopy and then bladder tumor biopsy. Through immediate staging CT scan, tumor and bone biopsies he was diagnosed with a 16 cm Stage IVa high-grade DLBCL. He was treated with DA EPOCH with only a partial response and was transitioned to R-ICE. For rarer presentations of bladder cancer during diagnostic cystoscopy there should be no delay in tumor imaging and involving medical oncology in early treatment decision making.
