Primary Renal Lymphoma: Long-Term Results of Two Patients Treated with a Chemotherapy + Rituximab Protocol

Abstract: Primary renal lymphoma (PRL) is a rare disease of which the etiology and pathogenesis remain controversial, and there is currently no standard treatment for it. We present the results of a long-term followup of two patients who were diagnosed with PRL and treated with cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, prednisolone and rituximab (CHOP + R) regimen. Both patients reached a complete response, and there is no evidence of recurrence after 4.5- and 5-year followup periods. Based on our experience and other … Show more

“…Indirect signs that may indicate an RCC include the following: the presence of calcifications, venous thrombosis, or an obstructive mass effect over the renal vessels or urinary tract. [ 6 ] These signs are indirect, and it is always required to confirm the diagnosis with a percutaneous biopsy. MRI and CT are considered to have the same accuracy for detection and characterization of the most renal lesion.…”

There is no agreement upon standard treatment approach (es) for PRL (12). Long term survival occasionally has been reported after combination of surgery with chemotherapy in case of unilateral involvement of kidney by PRL (13).…”
