Renal MALToma: an unusual lymphoma in a patient with lupus.
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas (NHL) have been reported in association with autoimmune disorders particularly Sjogren's syndrome. We report a case of renal MALToma, an unusual NHL in an 84-year-old Caucasian lady with long-standing, non-aggressive Systemic Lupus Erythematosis with no associated Sjorgen's syndrome and who never received cytotoxics.
