[Renal cell carcinoma in a patient with malignant lymphoma: a case report].
This is a case report of a 51-year-old male in the late stage of malignant lymphoma who presented with pathological fracture renal cell carcinoma secondary to metastatic. He underwent right nephrectomy followed by immunotherapy consisting of interferon alpha and some cytokines. According to his condition and extension of the disease, OK-432, interleukin-2 and interferon gamma were combined. He was also given irradiation to the bone metastases. He died of progressive disease 8 years and 6 months after the initiation of interferon alpha therapy. The autopsy revealed evidence of pancreatic involvement with renal cell carcinoma and malignant lymphoma as well. Malignant lymphoma also infiltrated into the mesentery and left femur. We reviewed other reports regarding multiple malignant tumors associated with renal cell carcinoma and discussed the occurrence of malignant lymphoma in renal cell carcinoma patients.
