Urinary immunocytology for primary bladder B cell lymphoma

Urology. 2004 Feb;63(2):381-3. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2003.10.047.

Abstract

Urinary immunocytology is described as a diagnostic tool in a patient with a primary high-grade, large-cell, B cell lymphoma of the bladder. Lymphoma cells were distinguished from abundant leukocytes by immunocytologic staining for CD20. This technique might be useful in the differential diagnosis of patients with chronic bladder inflammation accompanied by pyuria.
