Perirenal pseudolymphoma: a case report

Int J Urol. 1997 May;4(3):311-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1442-2042.1997.tb00197.x.

Abstract

A right nephrectomy was performed on a 51 year-old female with a tumor surrounding the right kidney since the possibility of malignant lymphoma could not be excluded based on radiography or a needle biopsy. An immunohistological examination of the surgically-resected specimen confirmed a diagnosis of pseudolymphoma. A pseudolymphoma involving the urinary tract is rare, and this is only the second reported case of pseudolymphoma in the perirenal space.
