Why the study?
Primary renal lymphoma is extremely rare, and few studies have classified the imaging patterns of the disease.
What are the typical computed tomography (CT) imaging features of primary renal lymphoma?
What are the typical computed tomography (CT) imaging features of primary renal lymphoma?
Understanding the typical CT imaging findings of primary renal lymphoma is important for accurate diagnosis and differentiation from other renal malignancies.
May aid CT differentiation from other renal masses; leaves open validation beyond case reports.
Primary renal lymphoma (PRL) is an extremely rare disease. Due to the relative rarity of PRL, few studies have classified the imaging patterns of the disease. We describe computed tomography (CT) findings of a patient with PRL, and discuss the differential imaging features. PRL is typically large, hypovascular, infiltrative solid mass that does not invade the vessels. Having an understanding of typical imaging findings is very important for accurate diagnosis, differentiation from other renal malignancies, and a correct decision to biopsy.
