Primary renal lymphoma (PRL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) restricted to and primarily involving one or both kidneys, with no lymph node extension. It accounts for <1% of extranodal lymphomas, and descriptions in the literature are limited. Here, we describe an unprecedented case of bilateral PRL in a 44-year-old woman with Turner syndrome and discuss both diagnostic and therapeutic issues in the light of the available literature in the field. A personalized approach to this rare disease is necessary.

Abstract Stage I and II follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is clinically defined as a localized disease. To study the possibility that this disease is in fact disseminated, we used the sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method using translocation (14;18) as marker. Samples from 21 patients who were clinically diagnosed with stage I or II follicular NHL were analyzed for the presence of t(14;18)-positive cells using PCR. We analyzed (1) the diagnostic lymph node biopsy and (2) the peripheral blood or bone marrow samples from these patients. Translocation (14;18) cells were detected in the diagnostic lymph node biopsies of 12 patients. In 9 of these patients, t(14;18)-positive cells were detected in peripheral blood and/or bone marrow samples at diagnosis and/or after therapy. Thus, in 75% of the follicular NHL patients carrying the t(14;18) as a marker for lymphoma cells, t(14;18)- positive cells were detected in peripheral blood and bone marrow at diagnosis and after therapy. Our results show that t(14;18)-positive cells can be detected in the circulation of patients with stage I and II follicular NHL, indicating that, although diagnosed as localized, the disease is disseminated.

AbstractObjectiveTo retrospectively study the primary laryngeal lymphoma cases in China reported in Chinese-language literature.MethodChinese-language literature was searched for papers on primary laryngeal lymphoma published in the last 25 years.ResultsThe selected papers comprised a total of 115 cases. The male-to-female ratio was 3.4:1. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was the exclusive pathological type. The estimated 3-year, 5-year and 10-year survival rates were 70.9 ± 6.4 per cent, 63.4 ± 7.6 per cent and 56.4 ± 9.5 per cent respectively, as determined by Kaplan–Meier analysis. B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients had a better prognosis than T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients (p = 0.032). Patients with lymph node involvement at diagnosis had a poorer prognosis (p &lt; 0.01).ConclusionPrimary laryngeal lymphoma is a rare disease with no specific clinical features. More than one biopsy might be needed to obtain the correct diagnosis. Proper treatment could lead to promising outcomes. The T-cell subtype and lymph node involvement at diagnosis might indicate worse prognosis.
