Primary renal lymphoma: an unusual finding following radical nephrectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Secondary kidney involvement by disseminated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is quite common and is estimated to approach 30 - 60% in NHL patients. However, primary renal lymphoma is exceedingly rare and estimated to make up less than 1% of all kidney masses. We report a case of primary renal NHL presenting with profound hypercalcemia and renal failure recalcitrant to medical management, ultimately treated with urgent radical nephrectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of primary renal lymphoma presenting in this acute fashion.

Background: Primary renal lymphoma (PRL) is an exceptionally rare disease with under 50 reported cases in the literature. PRL is an aggressive condition that can present with nonspecific symptoms and local invasion mimicking renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We present an unusual case involving a collision tumor between PRL and RCC. Case Presentation: The patient is a 62-year-old immunosuppressed man...
متن کاملPrimary Renal Cell Lymphoma: Case Report, Diagnosis, and Management
The symptoms of primary renal lymphoma (PRL) may mimic a renal cell carcinoma. Since the diagnosis is mostly after a radical nephrectomy, we recommend a percutaneous biopsy or cytology from the renal mass in patients who have features suggestive of a lymphoma. A magnetic resonance imaging may give an image more specific for a lymphoma. There are no clinical trials for the treatment of PRL, but ...
متن کاملPrimary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma in the kidney
Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) lymphoma, accounting for about 5% of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, arises in a number of epithelial tissues, mostly in the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, ocular adnexa, thyroid and salivary glands. MALT lymphoma primarily arising from the kidney is extremely rare. Here we report a case that was admitted to our institution due to left hydronephrosis...
