Abstract

The present report described the case of a 71‑year‑old man who was admitted to the emergency department with a 7‑day history of progressive left flank pain and tarry stool. Bedside point‑of‑care ultrasound of the left kidney showed lobulated ill‑defined hypoechoic foci in the perirenal spaces with mild hydronephrosis. Subsequent contrast‑enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed lobulated low‑density lesions in the bilateral perirenal space and paraaortic space. The patient was subsequently admitted to the internal medicine department of the hospital. Renal and duodenal biopsies were arranged, and pathology reports were consistent with the findings of plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL). This unusual presentation of flank pain and tarry stool caused by recurrent PBL highlighted that genitourinary or gastrointestinal manifestations could occur in cases of PBL recurrence. The patient received intensive chemotherapy regimens comprising a combination of etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin hydrochloride for aggressive non‑Hodgkin's lymphoma to achieve a good response.
