Abstract
Primary renal lymphoma is a rare malignant disease. We present the case of a 48 -year-old woman who presented to our hospital with asthenia, anemia, and intermittent pain in the left flank. An abdominopelvic CT scan revealed a mass in the left kidney that mimicked a renal cell tumor. The patient underwent open left radical nephrectomy because of the large tumor size. The histopathological finding was surprising, considering the diagnosis of renal lymphoma.
The patient underwent further investigations to confirm the diagnosis of primary renal lymphoma. Currently, the treatment for renal lymphoma is not surgical, but rather chemotherapy. We present this case because very few studies have been published, which contributes to the literature by understanding the presentation of this entity mimicking a clear cell tumor.
