Renal lymphoma in an azotemic patient--usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract

An azotemic patient benefited from diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of his renal mass. This led to suspicion of lymphoma, and provided guidance for percutaneous biopsy. Chemotherapy was then initiated, and an unnecessary nephrectomy was avoided. After a year of follow-up, evolution was stable and renal function significantly improved.
