An unusual primary renal lymphoma.
A case of primary renal lymphoma (PRL) in a 78-year-old man is reported. The tumor was found by computed tomography during a check-up for hematuria and weight loss. Histologic and immunohistochemical analyses of this tumor revealed features typical of low-grade lymphoma with localized amyloid deposition. PRL is a rare disease and only a few cases have been reported previously. To our knowledge, there have been no other reports of PRL with localized amyloid deposition.
