“…The physical examination was unremarkable and there was no sign of either lymphadenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly. The laboratory results were as follows: White blood cells (WBC), 7.9x10 9 /l (normal range, 3.5-9.5x10 9 /l); hemoglobin, 124 g/l (normal range, 115-150 g/l); platelets, 209x10 9 /l (normal range, 125-350x10 9 /l); blood urea nitrogen, 4.94 mmol/l (normal range, 2.9-8.2 mmol/l); and creatinine, 40 µmol/l (normal range, 45-84 µmol/l). Urine routine tests were negative for proteins, red blood cells (RBC) 1 particle/µl (normal range, 0-5 particle/µl), WBC 7 particle/µl (normal range, 0-9 particle/µl) and bacteria 164 particle/µl (normal range, 0-75 particle/µl).…”

“…The diagnosis of PRL includes: i) The presence of a renal mass; ii) no evidence of extrarenal lymphomatous involvement in the visceral organs or lymph nodes at first admission; and iii) the absence of a leukemic blood picture together with no evidence of myelosuppression (9). However, a kidney biopsy remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of primary renal lymphoma (10).…”

Abstract. Primary renal lymphoma (PRL) is a rare disease, with no more than 70 cases reported in the literature. The present study reports the case of a 70-year-old woman with PRL. The patient was asymptomatic, however, a mass on the right kidney was identified incidentally during routine physical examination. Computed tomography revealed a mass in the right kidney that was 3.6 cm in diameter. Subsequently, right nephrectomy was performed. The histological evaluation of the nephrectomy specimen showed diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The patient was treated with 6-8 cycles of a cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, vindesine and dexamethasone regimen. Follow-up examination performed after 2 months of treatment revealed no evidence of local recurrence. The present study also reviewed 49 cases of PRL that have been reported since 1989. It was found that a shorter survival time was experienced by patients with bilateral PRL (mean, 21 months) compared with unilateral PRL (mean, 68 months). A shorter survival time was also experienced by patients who were treated with chemotherapy only (mean, 15.8 months) compared with those who were treated with combination chemotherapy and surgery (mean, 49.4 months).

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Furthermore, primary renal lymphoma, accounting for 0.1-0.7% of extranodal lymphomas, can also be a very rare cause of ARF. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] To date, approximately 150 glomerulonephropathy cases have been reported among all cases with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (non-HL), and 6.8% of them were reported as membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN). This rate is about 5% in HL cases, and only 5 MGN cases have been reported to date.…”

A Case of Acute Renal Failure Caused by Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Concurrent Membranous Glomerulonephritis and Interstitial HL-CD 20 Lymphoid Infiltration

et al. 2011

Although acute renal failure developing due to malignancies is a frequent condition, malignant renal infiltration is rarely observed among these causes. Among all malignant diseases, the hematolymphoid malignancies are the most prone to renal infiltration. Other types involved in cases with lymphoma are glomerulopathies, including immune-complex glomerular diseases such as minimal change disease, membranous glomerulonephritis, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. We present herein the rare case of a 22-year-old male with both membranous glomerulonephritis and CD20 (+) lymphoid infiltration related to Hodgkin's lymphoma in the renal interstitial tissue, as detected on biopsy. The patient was treated with adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine protocol after pulse corticosteroid treatment, and a dramatic improvement in renal function was observed after 2 days of treatment. In this article, an exceptional renal involvement of Hodgkin's lymphoma is discussed in light of the related literature.

“…Renal lymphoma can be either primary or associated with external lymphoma. [8][9] Primary renal lymphoma typically presents in age above 40, with flank pain, weakness, weight loss, hematuria, abdominal mass or renal failure. [4][5] Kidney does not have lymphoid tissue, 10 but repetitive injury to renal lymphatics due to chronic inflammation may cause malignant transformation to neoplasia of the lymphoid tissue.…”

Low-grade B cell lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphomas) are mostly seen in the gastrointestinal tract. MALT lymphomas involving kidney are extremely rare. We report on a case of MALT lymphomas of the kidney. A 74-yearold woman presented with an episode of gross hematuria and right flank pain. In renal sonography, we found a hypoecho lesion measuring 61 × 58 × 44 mm in the lower pole of right kidney. A computed tomography scan revealed an enlarged hypodense soft tissue measuring 62 × 42 × 37 mm within the pelvic brim of the right kidney, with extension to the proximal portion of the ipsilateral ureter and engulfed it. The patient underwent a right radical nephrectomy. The pathology specimen indicated a lymphoprolifrative disorder involving the kidney and ureter. To obtain a definitive diagnosis, we used an immunohistochemistry, which confirmed the diagnosis of a MALT lymphoma.
