title: Primary renal non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
abstract: Two cases of primary renal non-Hodgkin lymphoma are presented. Clinical and pathologic characteristics and diagnostic aspects are discussed. Radical nephrectomy followed by chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. New chemotherapy patterns have improved the prognosis. Although rare, non-Hodgkin lymphoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of space-occupying renal lesions.
