They most commonly present as painless lymphadenopathy elsewhere in the body and can cause abdominal or thoracic pain and systemic symptoms such as fever, weight loss and night sweats. Here we report a rare case of sporadic Burkitt\u2019s lymphoma of the prostate whose initial clinical presentation was acute urinary retention.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A 28-year-old Caucasian male presented repeatedly with urinary retention. First, he was misdiagnosed with alcohol-induced urinary retention and later with benign prostatic hyperplasia. After the appearance of new symptoms, including hematuria and hydronephrosis, endoscopic and radiographic evaluation was performed. Transurethral biopsy of the prostate secured the diagnosis of Burkitt\u2019s lymphoma. The symptoms receded under chemotherapy and complete remission of the disease was established.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This case report brings lymphomas into focus as a differential diagnosis for urinary retention in young males. Early use of extensive diagnostic measures is advised in patients with urinary retention for uncertain reasons to make prompt diagnosis and start appropriate treatment early.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12894-020-00616-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,6]],"date-time":"2020-05-06T12:04:25Z","timestamp":1588766665000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Burkitt\u2019s lymphoma of the prostate presenting as acute urinary retention: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Marcus","family":"Derigs","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anika","family":"Pehl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Riera-Knorrenschild","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rainer","family":"Hofmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Axel","family":"Hegele","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"616_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"218","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.18004619704","volume":"46","author":"D Burkitt","year":"1958","unstructured":"Burkitt D.
