Kidney lymphoma, primarily non-Hodgkin lymphoma, presented as multiple nodules in affected kidneys. Imaging revealed abnormal gallium uptake and hypovascular lesions, complicating diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Lymphoma can infiltrate the kidneys, presenting diagnostic challenges.
  • Understanding the imaging characteristics of renal lymphoma is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • Six patients with nine kidneys affected by lymphoma were analyzed.
  • The majority of cases (83%) involved non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • Multiple nodules were observed in 44% of affected kidneys, with bilateral involvement in 50%.

Findings:

  • Renal lymphoma lesions exhibited changeful characteristics over time.
  • Gallium scintigraphy demonstrated abnormal radiotracer uptake in the kidneys.
  • Angiography revealed hypovascularity of the lesions, suggesting reduced blood supply.

  • Magnetic resonance imaging was utilized in one case for further evaluation.

    • Implications:

    • The imaging findings, including abnormal gallium uptake and hypovascularity, aid in differentiating renal lymphoma from other conditions.
    • Inflammation should be considered in the differential diagnosis of renal masses.
    • Accurate diagnosis of kidney lymphoma impacts treatment strategies and patient outcomes.
