[Lymphoma and kidney: report of 5 cases].
OBJECTIVE
To describe 5 cases of renal lymphoma.


RESULTS
A retrospective study was conducted on 5 cases of renal lymphoma that had been diagnosed at our institution in 1999. Of these 5 cases, one was considered to be primary renal lymphoma. The characteristics, treatment and outcome are discussed.


CONCLUSIONS
Secondary kidney involvement from systemic lymphoma is common, but primary renal lymphoma is a rare and controversial entity.
