BACKGROUND: Occult renal lymphoma clinically mimicking renal medical disease constitutes a diagnostic challenge to nephrologists, radiologists, and renal pathologists. The clinical and radiological findings, mostly nonspecific or inconclusive, seldom obviate the need for a kidney biopsy.
METHODS AND RESULTS: We report 5 new cases of diffuse bilateral renal lymphoma diagnosed by percutaneous kidney biopsy, all presenting with acute renal failure (ARF) of unknown cause. Three cases showed an interstitial and 2 an intraglomerular/intravascular type of lymphomatous infiltration. All tumors were of B-cell lineage. Our cases add to 50 similar cases reported since 1980. Considering all 55 cases together, 39 (87%) of the 44 cases with interstitial and 5 of 11 (45%) of those with intraglomerular lymphoma presented with ARF. In contrast, 5 of 10 cases with intraglomerular but none with interstitial infiltration presented with nephrotic range proteinuria. All but 2 cases (95%) with ARF and interstitial lymphoma but none with ARF and intraglomerular lymphoma showed bilaterally enlarged kidneys. Signs of extrarenal lymphomatous involvement were detected in 24 cases (44%) at the time of kidney biopsy or shortly thereafter. However, in only 10 cases (18%), all with interstitial lymphoma, was a tumor suspected prior to biopsy, mainly based on radiographical evidence of enlarged kidneys.
CONCLUSION: Both types of diffuse bilateral renal lymphoma may clinically mimic renal medical disease. ARF in interstitial and in intraglomerular lymphoma may be due to increased intrarenal pressure and intraglomerular obstruction, respectively. Percutaneous kidney biopsy provides the most expedient means of establishing the diagnosis. Differential diagnosis includes interstitial nephritis and proliferative glomerulonephritis.
