Abstract:
Background and purpose: Primary renal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT lymphoma) are rare tumors in the kidney.Till now,less than 50 cases have been reported all over the world.This article introduced 2 cases of MALT lymphoma based on the morphological and immunophenotype features,aimed to highlight this rare tumor in terms of clinical characteristics and pathology.Methods:2 cases of renal MALT lymphomas were treated in our hospital.Clinical history were collected,morphological analysis was evaluated based on the HE section,and immunohistochemistry were performed by CD20,CD79a,CD5,CD10,CD43,CD23,BCL10 and cyclinD1 antibodies.Results:2 female patients with the age of 48 and 55,respectively,both of them had a history of chronic pyelonephritis.Under the B ultrasonic and CT scanning,a lump in the kidney was found and whole nephrectomy was performed.In the macroscopic view,tumors were in the renal medulla with dark red color and ill-defined boundary.In the microscopic view,lymphoid cells infiltrate from the pelvis to the medulla of kidney,lymphoid cells mainly consisted of small lymphocytes,centrocyte-like cells,lymphoplasmacytoid and plasma cells.Reactive follicles and lymphoepithelial lesions also could be seen in the tumor.Immunohistochemistry showed that the tumor cells were CD20 and CD79a positive,CD43 was weak positive,but CD5,CD10,CD23,BCL10 and cyclinD1 were all negative.Conclusions:Primary renal MALT lymphomas are very rare diseases.According to the clinical manifestation,it is hard to differentiate from renal cell carcinoma.But the morphological features were consistent with the classic MALT lymphomas in other sites.Immunophenotype profiles were helpful for diagnosis.
