Summary
Primary renal T-cell lymphoma is exceptionally rare. This case highlights successful treatment with partial nephrectomy and no recurrence, offering insights for managing rare kidney cancers.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Nephrology
- Pathology
Background:
- Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma rarely involves the kidneys.
- Primary renal lymphoma is exceptionally uncommon.
- Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL, NOS) is a rare subtype.
Observation:
- A 63-year-old male patient presented with a renal mass initially suspected as renal cell carcinoma.
- Imaging revealed a 2-cm right renal mass with specific enhancement patterns.
- The patient had concurrent coronavirus disease 2019.
Findings:
- Pathological diagnosis confirmed primary renal PTCL, NOS.
- Robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy was performed for the renal mass.
- The patient experienced no recurrence or need for further treatment over 20 months post-surgery.
Implications:
- This case demonstrates the successful surgical management of a rare primary renal T-cell lymphoma.
- Partial nephrectomy can be a viable treatment option for select cases of renal lymphoma.
- Long-term follow-up without additional therapy may be feasible after complete surgical resection.
