We report a case of primary malignant lymphoma of the bladder in a 20-year-old female patient who consulted for recurrent urinary tract infections. Tumor type was that of a poorly-differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma with a predominantly diffuse growth pattern. The patient was put on a combined treatment modality of external radiotherapy and polychemotherapy which achieved good results. Patient follow up 20 months after treatment revealed no local recurrence or distant spread of the tumor.
