“…This has been explained by the absence of mucosal infiltration in these cases [16,17]. Lymphoma tends to infiltrate around, and not impinge on the ureter, a feature more easily demonstrated by CT than retrograde ureterography.…”

Renal involvement in lymphoma: prevalence and various patterns of involvement on abdominal CT

et al. 2007

Five distinct patterns of renal involvement with lymphoma were detected with helical CT. The most common appearance was enlarged lobular kidneys. CT with intravenous contrast enhancement is currently the approach of choice for both the evaluation of renal involvement as well as for accurate staging of lymphoma. Awareness of different patterns of renal involvement in lymphoma allows proper differentiation from other similar diseases.

“…Most metastases are discovered at autopsy. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma arising primarily from the ureteral wall is exceedingly uncommon, with fewer than 20 reported cases [1,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. When lymphoma affects the ureters it is usually as indirect displacement by bulky retroperitoneal adenopathy [15].…”

Primary Ureteral Lymphoma Presenting with Acute Flank Pain

et al. 2014

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) represents 4% of newly diagnosed cancer in 2013 with a 59-82% 5-year survival depending on the tumor location. Primary presentation of lymphoma consists of lymphadenopathy or swelling of the lymph nodes and non-specific systemic symptoms such as fevers, night sweats, and weight loss. Less commonly, NHL arises from non-lymphoid tissue. We report a unique case of NHL arising from the ureteral wall which was visualized via non-contrast CT and direct vision through ureteroscopy.

“…The incidence is higher in males, but there is no difference in incidence according to the area of the ureter that is affected (Table 1). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] There are no particular imaging characteristics. In most cases, diagnosis was established after nephroureterectomy was performed for the diagnosis of a ureteral tumor; histopathologic study then revealed malignant lymphoma of the ureter.…”

Bilateral primary malignant lymphoma of the ureter

et al. 2007

We report the case of a 68-year-old Japanese man who presented with postrenal azotemia due to bilateral upper ureteral stenosis. The patient's right kidney was nonfunctional; therefore, right nephroureterectomy was performed for the purpose of pathologic diagnosis. Histopathologic examination revealed follicular lymphoma with diffuse change in the ureter. With chemotherapy for malignant lymphoma, the stenosis of the left ureter was alleviated, and left renal function was preserved. Primary malignant lymphoma of the ureter is extremely rare. In cases of ureteral stenosis with ureteral wall thickening for which the cause is uncertain, the possibility of malignant lymphoma of the ureter should be considered.
