After radiological studies (CT), we practise nephrectomy with a pathological result of a non-Hodgking B primary lymphoma. The patient present a IgM monoclonal gammapathy who need complementary treatment with chemotherapy. A literature review on currently recommended diagnostic and treatment practices in presented.
