[Lymphoma and the urogenital system: apropos of a case]

Lymphomas constitute a group of malignant lymphoreticular diseases that may affect the adrenal glands and the GU system as a primary condition or, more frequently, as distant invasion. We report on a case of diffuse, histiocytic non-Hodgkin lymphoma that had been in hematologic clinical remission but had recurred with invasion of the right renal parenchyma. Initially, it could not be determined whether it was a primary neoplasm or the result of primary lymphatic spread. The reports published in the literature relative to this condition are reviewed.
