Abstract
In a series of 225 patients with lymphoma studied by computed tomography, involvement of the kidney(s) was found in 11 (4.9%). These cases were then also studied by ultrasound. Because of the characteristic findings of computed tomography and sonography in renal lymphoma, a reliable diagnosis was possible along with an accurate assessment of the incidence and types of renal involvement. Illustration of this material along with a discussion of the clinical implications of these findings is presented.
