PRIMARY RENAL NON-HODGKINS LYMPHOMA PRESENTING

Primary renal lymphoma usually occurs in middle-aged individuals and commonly presents with renal dysfunction. Acute renal failure is associated with a poor prognosis. We present a case of a 79-year-old man who presented with acute-on-chronic renal insufficiency and a unilateral renal mass with biopsy proven low grade В cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma involving the kidney was first described by Gison in 1948 and again by Davis and Olivelli in 1951Л. It was not yet understood that renal failure was associated with this condition until the 1960s when the complication was reported with more frequency.
