Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNA, which can regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. MiRNA profiling has shown a great potential as novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. The present study was performed at the Nemazee Teaching Hospital (Shiraz, Iran) from 2011 to 2013.The aim of thi...

renal masses can be categorized as benign and malignant lesions. among the renal malignancies, renal cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy. however, other rare malignant lesions should be considered in differential diagnosis. primary renal lymphoma is quite rare and might be mistaken for renal cell carcinoma. due to lack of lymphatic tissue in the kidney, pathogenesis of renal lymphoma i...
