Abstract

A 67-year-old man was admitted to hospital with acid regurgitation, acute right lower abdominal pain and mild fever. Multiple suspicious mass lesions were detected in the patient's kidneys, the right side wall of his bladder and the right lower ureter, using CT urography and PET‑CT. He underwent palliative surgery of the bladder and percutaneous renal biopsy. Postoperative histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining indicated that the tumor was consistent with diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Although DLBCL is by far the most common type of non‑Hodgkin's lymphoma, it is rare for DLBCL to simultaneously involve the kidneys, bladder and the lower ureteric tract.
