[Adrenal gland lymphoma accompanied by renal cell carcinoma].
A 76-year-old man was admitted with right hypochondralgia. Computed tomography revealed tumors measuring 90 mm and 20 mm in the right adrenal gland and kidney, respectively. Under a diagnosis of renal and adrenal cancer, the patient underwent nephro-adrenectomy, which revealed renal cell carcinoma in the kidney and non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma of the diffuse large cell type in the adrenal grand. The patient has been disease-free for ten months after the operation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of coexisting renal cell carcinoma and adrenal lymphoma. The relationship between these two disorders in our patient is discussed.
