Primary Renal Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Rare Case Report

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Primary renal non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare extra-nodal lymphoma with a progressive characteristic and poor prognosis. We report on the case of a 73-year-old female with a painful right upper quadrant mass. The patient was planned for radical nephrectomy via laparotomy based on suspicion of renal cell carcinoma, shown on a urography CT scan. Intraoperatively, we identified a huge, solid, fixed mass originating from the right kidney; thus, a biopsy was performed. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry results showed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Key words: primary renal lymphoma, DLBCL, biopsy laparotomy
