Renal involvement as part of systemic lymphoma (LY) is quite frequent, however, primary extranodal renal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is extremely rare, and only about 65 cases have been reported in the world literature. In a retrospective study of renal manifestations in 700 patients with documented LY and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) seen at our hospital during 1986-95, 83 patients had signs of acute renal failure. Only five of these had proven renal infiltration, but none of them satisfied the criteria for primary renal LY. Glomerulonephritis (GN) has also rarely been reported in association with LY and CLL, and only 37 glomerular lesions in NHL and 42 in CLL have been documented, respectively. GN may precede, coexist, or follow the diagnosis of LY by several years. Of the 42 cases of CLL reported worldwide, 36 had nephrotic syndrome. Renal failure was seen in about one third. The most common glomerular lesion reported is membranoproliferative GN, followed by membranous GN. In our study, we found only five biopsy-proven cases with GN amongst the 700 patients seen. In this report we also briefly describe some rare interesting associated renal syndromes in CLL and NHL.
