Primary renal lymphoma is rare, and there is still debate on whether tumor invades the renal parenchyma from adjacent lymph nodes involved or whether the lymphomatous process originates within the kidney, which notably lacks lymphoid tissue [1,5,7].

Primary Renal Lymphoma

“…Approximately 50 cases of bladder, 92 cases of prostate, 3 cases of urethral, and 28 cases of kid ney lymphomas have been reported in the literature [17], Forty-eight percent of 621 patients with non-Hodg kin's lymphoma, who had an autopsy, had either one or both kidneys infiltrated by lymphoma cells [ 16] indicating the high incidence of renal involvement in documented non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Examination of all known case reports (table l ) of assumed primary renal lymphoma showed that 18 autopsies done in 29 cases showed evi dence of extrarenal lymphomatous disease.…”

Primary testicular lymphoma: review
