Abstract

Primary renal lymphomas are very rare, and primary kidney-limited lymphomas with cystic presentation have never been described before. This study reports a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma associated with chronic inflammation occurring in a renal pseudocyst: an infrequent neoplasm with an unusual and subtle clinical presentation.
