title: Imaging of primary and secondary renal lymphoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This article reviews the CT and MRI patterns of primary and secondary renal lymphomas and discusses the role of percutaneous biopsy in diagnosis and management.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Renal lymphoma has a variable imaging spectrum and may mimic renal cell carcinoma. An awareness of the typical and atypical imaging features of both primary and secondary renal lymphomas can help the radiologist to suggest these diagnoses and recommend biopsy when appropriate.
