Primary Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma of the Renal Pelvis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

Lymphomas account for approximately 5% of nonurothelial tumors of the urinary tract and develop in the bladder in 90% of cases. The most common lymphomas histologic type of this location is extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma). MALT lymphoma of the upper urinary tract is casuistically rare. The current study describes a case of a 74-year-old female patient with MALT lymphoma of the renal pelvis with metastases to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes who underwent radical surgical treatment with subsequent follow-up.
