Primary Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma of the Renal Capsule: A Histopathological Case Report (original) (raw)

A Young Man with Left Renal Mass – A Case of Primary Renal Lymphoma

Journal of Medicine, 2011

Renal involvement in lymphoma is not very uncommon but primary renal lymphoma is very rare and prognosis is poor. A 20 years male presented with localized, dull, constant pain and progressive swelling in left upper abdomen. He also gave history of significant weight loss. Examination findings revealed that he was anaemic, left kidney was hugely enlarged and hepatomegaly. Initially it seemed to be a case of renal cell carcinoma. But after doing invasive investigations it was proved to be a case of lymphoma, which considering all clinical and laboratory findings was diagnosed as a case of primary renal lymphoma.

An Unusual Case of Primary Bilateral Renal Lymphoma: A Case

2014

Primary renal lymphoma (PRL) is rare. They are variants of extranodal non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Lymphomatous involvement of the kidney is often seen as a part of disseminated disease. PRL can mimic other renal lesions such as renal cell carcinoma, renal abscess, and metastasis and may have aggressive clinical course. Pathological data are scanty and prognosis is usually poor with median survival less than a year. We present a rare case of a 22 year-old male who presented with acute febrile illness, respiratory problems and acute kidney injury. The clinical diagnosis was missed partly due to absence of obvious renal symptoms like renal mass lesion, gross hematuria or abdominal pain. However, radiological investigations combined with renal histology helped in establishing the diagnosis in the present case.

Primary Renal Lymphoma- A Case Report

2008

Primary renal Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is rare. Renal involvement though common in disseminated Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), the incidence of extra nodal primary renal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is less than 1%. An elderly, immunocompetant, chronic alcoholic male symptomatic since one month was presented with acute abdominal pain with fever and acute renal failure. The provisional diagnosis both clinically and radiologically was liver abscesses with enlarged bright kidneys. On the complete autopsy examination, diagnosis of primary renal lymphoma with liver metastasis was made. Also an incidental finding of microfilariae of Wuchereria bancrofti was noted.

Imaging features of primary renal lymphoma

Acta Radiologica, 2017

Background Cases of primary renal lymphoma (PRL) are quite rare and are often mistaken for renal cell carcinoma. Purpose To determine the multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of PRL. Materials and Methods Twenty-three patients with PRL were identified by CT and MRI, and their tumor characteristics were assessed. Results Tumors exhibited single or multifocal nodules (n = 19) and diffuse renal enlargement (n = 4). Twenty-two tumors exhibited an infiltrative appearance. There was no evidence of calcification in any of the cases. Twenty-one tumors displaced or wrapped around abdominal vessels rather than encasing them. Enlarged retroperitoneal nodes were observed in three cases. Neither extension into the venous system nor distant metastasis was found. Tumor enhancement was of low attenuation compared with that of normal renal cortex and medulla ( P

A CASE REPORT OF PRIMARY RENAL LYMPHOMA

2017

Primary renal lymphoma (PRL) is defined as a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma arising primarily in the renal parenchyma, not resulting from invasion of an adjacent node or lymphomatous mass. It is much more common for kidneys to be an involved extra-nodal organ site in other lymphomas; perhaps just 3 to 8 percent of the time that the kidney is involved in lymphomas, it is a PRL. In lymphoma circles, PRL is considered a controversial disease, meaning that not everyone agrees that it exists, since the kidneys are not lymphoid organs. We present a case of 56 years old male patient who presented with bilateral multiple renal masses and was diagnosed to have primary renal lymphoma.

Primary Lymphoma of the Kidney in an Adult Male – The First Reported Case from Iran

Case Reports in Oncology, 2010

We report a case of primary renal lymphoma in a 48-year-old man. He was admitted with a large homogenous right renal mass that was revealed by computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis. The patient underwent transperitoneal right radical nephrectomy. Pathologic diagnosis was in favor of primary renal lymphoma.

Lymphoma of the kidney: Primary or initial manifestation of rapidly progressive systemic disease?

International Urology and Nephrology, 2007

Primary renal lymphoma is a controversial and rare disease. There is no agreement whether or not it is an initial manifestation of a rapidly systemic disease. Most reported cases are questionable because of incomplete staging and lack of autopsy studies. Herein, we present a 7l-year-old woman, initially diagnosed with primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the kidney, but was lost 4 months after radical nephrectomy due to systemic disease despite aggressive chemotherapy, and suggest that, the kidney of the patient was the initial presenting site of a rapidly progressive systemic disease. Figure 3. Control CT, 1 month after 4 chemotherapy cycles, reveals multiple calcified adenopathies in the cervical region.

Saudi Medical Journal

Histopathological and immunohistochemical slides were reviewed, and additional immunohistochemistry stains were carried out in selected cases. Follow-up data were also collected. Original Article Results: There were 17 identified cases of PRL. The age of the patients ranged from 4-76 years)median: 50.5 years and mean: 46.8 years(, 11)64.7%(were males, and 6)35.3%(were females. There were 12 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 3 cases of Burkitt's lymphoma, and 2 cases of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. The median follow-up duration was 22 months. The one-year overall survival rate was 71% and the 2-year overall survival rate was 43% during follow-up. Conclusion: Primary renal lymphomas in Saudi patients are more common in males and seen in a relatively younger age group compared to the available worldwide data. The diagnosis of PRL is important to avoid tumor dissemination and unnecessary nephrectomy. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common pathological type and non-germinal center B-cell is the most common subtype.
