Non-renal urological lymphomas.
IVP, US and CT findings for 5 rare cases of non-renal lymphomas of the urinary tract are discussed. The 4 non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) and 1 Hodgkin's disease (HD) involved the ureter (2 cases), bladder (2 cases) and renal pelvis (1 case). US and CT visualised the pyelic lesion (undetected by urography) as wall thickening and detected the two ureteral lesions (which were also revealed by antegrade pyelography for the 1 HD and by retrograde pyelography for an ureteral NHL). One bladder lesion was associated with a renal lesion (CT demonstrated retroperitoneal lymph nodes); the other was a multinodular form infiltrating the entire bladder.
