Perirenal Mass: An Unusual Presentation of Malignant Lymphoma

Abstract

Perirenal masses are an uncommon manifestation of malignant lymphoma. We report a 73-year-old patient who had this very unusual pattern of renal involvement in non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma. Diagnosis was made on the basis of characteristic ultrasound and computed tomography findings and confirmed by histology from a specimen obtained by ultrasound guided biopsy.
