%X objective: report of a case of leukemic infiltration of the prostate as an incidental ct finding. methods: we describe a case of a 60-year-old male suffering from chronic lymphocytic leukemia. a routine-performed ct showed multiple lymphadenopathies and an hypodense area in the left prostatic lobe. the patient was sent to our department to carry out a transrectal ultrasound and prostatic biopsy. he didn't relate any urinary symptoms. results: by the prostate rectal examination the gland felt hard and with no well defined limits. the transrectal ultrasound showed heterogene parenchyma and several hyperechoic areas by a bad circumscribed prostate. the pathological analysis reported a diffuse infiltration of the gland by chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. conclusions: although the relapse of hematological tumors to the prostate has been described previously, there is no published case to our knowledge of a leukemic prostate infiltration in an assymptomatic patient as an incidental finding by an imaging procedure.
