Summary:	The prostate is a rare site for the occurrence of lymphoma and accounts for 0.1% of newly diagnosed lymphomas. Patients with prostatic lymphoma exhibit similar symptoms to that of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate carcinoma, such as obstructive and irritative urinary signs.

We present a unique case of an elderly individual who presented with enlarged prostate and was found to, concurrently, have mantle zone lymphoma of the prostate.
