[Primary renal lymphoma. Apropos of a case].
OBJECTIVE
To describe case of primary renal lymphoma.


RESULTS
A 76-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of a left renal mass was referred to our service. The patient underwent a radical nephrectomy. Histological analysis of the surgical specimen revealed a non-Hodgkin lymphoma. She received combination chemotherapy with CHOP.


CONCLUSIONS
Primary renal lymphoma is a rare clinical entity whose existence has been questioned very often. Its clinical presentation is not unlike that of any other renal tumor and its diagnosis is by histology. Although it is a rare tumor type, it must be taken into account when making the differential diagnosis of any renal mass. Surgical resection in combination with chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy continues to be the widely utilized treatment for primary renal lymphoma.
