“…The poly-chemotherapy with CHOP represents the standard chemotherapy regimen for NHL treatment with good outcome, and few and acceptable side-effects. 2 New strategies with retuximab, a chimerical anti CD20 IgG1 monoclonal antibody which is a cell surface protein that occurs almost exclusively in mature B-cells, are used to improve the prognosis of these patients. 5 The prognosis has improved in recent years owing to the development of various aggressive chemotherapeutic regimens depending on the histological type, stage and age of each patient.…”

Primary retroperitoneal non Hodgkin lymphoma is extremely rare, its diagnosis is often difficult and it may requires a time consuming and a costly diagnostic workup. We report the case of a 46-year-old patient complaining of abdominal fullness and dorsal pain, who was diagnosed with an extra-nodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma presenting as a unique and large retroperitoneal mass. The suggested diagnosis was a malignant retroperitoneal tumor and the patient underwent an excision of the tumor throw a lombotomy followed by an R-CHOP chemotherapy regimen with good outcome.

Abstract. Extranodal lymphoma occurs in ~40% of all patients with lymphoma and has been described in virtually all organs and tissue. However, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which is the most common histological subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), primarily arising in the retroperitoneal region has been rarely reported. Primary retroperitoneal lymphoma without renal or ureteral involvement affecting the genitourinary system has not been reported until now. In this article, we report the rare case of a young female suffering with primary DLBCL located simultaneously in the retroperitoneal and gastrointestinal region. The first sign of this disease was renal colic. Pathological assessment was performed using immunohistochemistry staining, revealing positivity for CD20 and Ki67. DLBCL was the final confirmed diagnosis. Obtaining a definitive histological diagnosis by surgery and using exactly chemotherapy played an essential role in the treatment of our patient. This case serves as a reminder to include the differential diagnosis of primary retroperitoneal NHL when a patient presents with a retroperitoneal mass and the first symptom is renal colic.
