Abstract
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is the seventh most common cancer in the United States. It may involve any extranodal organ, although involvement of the genitourinary (GU) tract accounts for <5% of all primary extranodal lymphomas. Published GU lymphoma literature is currently limited to small case series and case reports. The last substantial American series was published in 2009. Our objective was to characterize cases of GU lymphoma from our institution based on organ involved and to review relevant literature.
