Primary Renal Lymphoma Identified in a Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Nephroureterectomy Specimen

چکیده
BACKGROUND Although renal involvement is often present in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), primary renal NHL is a rare diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case report of a 72-year-old asymptomatic male who underwent a robot-assisted laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy on an atrophic left kidney with evidence of an infiltrating mass. Pathology report demonstrated a grade 1 follicular lymphoma. CONCLUSION Lymphoma is a differential that should be considered when evaluating a renal mass. Chemotherapy and radiation are the mainstays of treatment.

Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Nephroureterectomy for Transitional Cell Carcinoma of a Right Pelvic Kidney
BACKGROUND Nephroureterectomy is the standard of care for transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) involving the upper urinary tract. However, few published case reports exist describing the surgical treatment of ectopic kidneys with TCC. Surgical removal of a pelvic kidney can be complicated by aberrant vasculature supply, a tortuous ureter and abutting anatomical structures. Thus, it is necessary to...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the perioperative and oncological outcomes of hand-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (HANU) and robotic-assisted nephroureterectomy (RANU). METHODS Patients who underwent RANU were matched by sex, age (± 5 years), and tumor location to those who underwent HANU; 18 matched pairs were included. RESULTS Each group consisted of five men and 13 women. The mean ag...
متن کاملEctopic Ureteral Insertion into the Seminal Vesicle Causing Recurrent Epididymitis in a 24-Year-Old
A 24-year-old male was found to have recurrent epididymitis secondary to ectopic ureteral insertion to the seminal vesicle. His ipsilateral kidney was atrophic and ectopic in the pelvis, suggesting a complex failure of embryological development. He was successfully treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy.
