“…This was a peculiar case involving a single growth in a ureteral situs that manifested early compared with the systemic disease. Urography and CT displayed nonspecific thickening of the ureteral wall that could not possibly be distinguished from involvement caused by urothelial heteroplastic lesions, metastasis via blood or lymph, distant tumors, or isolated nonHodgkin lymphomas (38).…”

Extranodal lesions in Hodgkin disease may develop and spread to virtually any organ system, simulating other neoplastic or infectious diseases. It is important to determine whether extranodal involvement represents a primary manifestation or dissemination of systemic disease, which has a poorer prognosis. Computed tomography (CT) is the preferred modality, although ultrasonography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging may also be helpful. CT is superior to conventional radiography in assessing chest disease, although MR imaging is more sensitive than CT in detecting chest wall involvement. CT is preferred for evaluating hepatic lymphoma and has proved particularly valuable in diagnosing gastric lymphoma and detecting renal or perirenal masses. CT and MR imaging are equally effective in detecting brain Hodgkin disease; however, the latter is superior in the detection of extracerebral tumor deposits in the subdural or epidural space. MR imaging is also preferred for evaluating meningeal and spinal cord involvement. Both MR imaging and CT allow excellent assessment of bone texture and accurate analysis of tumoral bone invasion, but MR imaging is superior in demonstrating bone marrow infiltration, and CT is superior in delineating the extent of cortical bone destruction. In the future, metabolic positron emission tomography may provide more information about extranodal lymphoma than do the current imaging modalities.

“…The most common extranodal site is the gastrointestinal tract, whereas NHL of the ureter is rare. An extensive literature search of the PubMed database only identified a few case reports (1–3,5–9) over the past five decades that reported cases of NHL in the ureter. A total of 20 patients with ureteral malignant lymphomas were identified, the majority of which originated from Japan.…”

A 38-year-old male was admitted to Renji Hospital (Shanghai, China) with the major complaint of back pain due to left hydronephrosis. Imaging analysis revealed an area of nodular soft-tissue density in the left ureteral wall. The patient’s left kidney was non-functional. Thus, a left nephroureterectomy was performed for the purpose of pathological diagnosis, and histopathological examination revealed follicular lymphoma. The patient received R-CHOP chemotherapy (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisolone) every three weeks. Following six courses of chemotherapy, positron emission tomography-computed tomography revealed that the patient was in complete remission. From this case we showed that in cases where a partial ureteral stenosis with ureteral wall thickening was observed by imaging analysis, further histological examination of tissue samples should be assigned as soon as possible.

“…The incidence is higher in males, but there is no difference in incidence according to the area of the ureter that is affected (Table 1). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] There are no particular imaging characteristics. In most cases, diagnosis was established after nephroureterectomy was performed for the diagnosis of a ureteral tumor; histopathologic study then revealed malignant lymphoma of the ureter.…”

We report the case of a 68-year-old Japanese man who presented with postrenal azotemia due to bilateral upper ureteral stenosis. The patient's right kidney was nonfunctional; therefore, right nephroureterectomy was performed for the purpose of pathologic diagnosis. Histopathologic examination revealed follicular lymphoma with diffuse change in the ureter. With chemotherapy for malignant lymphoma, the stenosis of the left ureter was alleviated, and left renal function was preserved. Primary malignant lymphoma of the ureter is extremely rare. In cases of ureteral stenosis with ureteral wall thickening for which the cause is uncertain, the possibility of malignant lymphoma of the ureter should be considered.
