title: [Isolated kidney lymphoma. Case report].
abstract: Renal lymphomas, essentially secondary, are the commonest site of lymphoma in the urinary tract: 68% of cases. Apparently primary renal lymphoma is very rare and difficult to diagnose. The authors report the case of a 55-year-old patient admitted with solid tumour of the right kidney. Radical nephrectomy was performed. Histological examination revealed renal lymphoma. Postoperative assessment looking for other sites was negative. Based on a review of the literature, the authors analyse the epidemiological and diagnostic aspects of isolated lymphomas of the kidney.
