Lymphoma of urinary bladder is rare and can be primary (0.2% of all bladder neoplasms) or secondary (1.8% of secondary tumors of the bladder), the latter being more common. Here, we report a case each of primary and secondary lymphoma of the bladder who had undergone treatment at our hospital. Both patients underwent cystoscopy and resection of the bladder growth followed by immunohistochemical staining which revealed them to be lymphomas.
