[Synchronous chromophobe renal carcinoma and centrocytic lymphoma].
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of synchronic neoplasia--chromophobe renal cell carcinoma and low grade non Hodgkin lymphoma--in a 38-year-old male patient, because, although association of these two neoplasias is known, the fact of renal neoplasia being a chromophobe carcinoma is rarely referred to in medical bibliography (3 cases described after Med-Line search).


RESULTS
The diagnostic study included ultrasound and CT scan in a patient presenting with in non specific abdominal symptoms and neck adenopathy; patient underwent left radical nephrectomy and excision of neck adenopathy. Histologic and immuno-histochemical studies revealed the coexistence of chromophobe type renal cell carcinoma and diffuse centrocytic lymphoma.


CONCLUSIONS
Column in the association between chromophobe histological type renal cell carcinoma and non Hodgkin lymphoma is very rare. Presence of these two tumors in the same patient may pose problems for clinical staging, prognostic predictions, and treatment. Then, due to the fact that it is not usual and that a local stage renal carcinoma presents with neck adenopathies, when they appear possible coexistence of these tumors should be suspected.
