title: Renal failure in Burkitt's lymphoma.
abstract: A case of Burkitt's lymphoma with renal failure due to massive infiltration of the kidney is reported. There was a striking initial response to chemotherapy with a parallel improvement in renal function and decrease in renal size. The rare occurrence of renal failure due to lymphomatous infiltration of the kidney parenchyma in the absence of urinary tract obstruction is reviewed.
