Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) is a rare aggressive lymphoid neoplasm accounting for 3-7% of all Non Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL). Kidney involvement in MCL is rarely reported in biopsies from living patients, being caused by direct lymphoid infiltration. Only 19 cases have been documented of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) with lymphomatous infiltration. This case report is of a 50-year-old male who presented with AKI and was found to have a MCL infiltrating the kidneys.
