Abstract

Renal failure is rarely the presenting manifestation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We describe the unusual case of a patient who presented with uremia due to lymphomatous infiltration of the kidney by a low-grade T-cell lymphoma. The diagnosis of lymphoma was made by renal biopsy. Extrarenal nodular or extra-nodular involvement could not be detected. However, simultaneously, a lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma was found on bone marrow biopsy associated with IgM paraproteinemia. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a renal T-cell lymphoma associated with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
