Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on primary lymphoid neoplasms in the urinary tract and male genital organs, which are rare and make up less than 5% of extranodal lymphomas.
- Researchers analyzed cases diagnosed from 2005 to 2020, examining pathology slides from 11 patients, predominantly middle-aged, finding a female predominance in urinary bladder and ureter lymphomas.
- The findings confirm that diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype, but emphasize the importance of thorough classification and diagnosis using techniques like immunohistochemistry to accurately identify various lymphoma types.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are neoplasms derived from T cells and B cells and their precursors in the lymphoid system with higher susceptibility in involvement of extra-nodal sites. Predominant ureteric involvement is an unusual presentation. We present a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with secondary involvement of ureter who had symptoms of urinary tract infection in absence of positive urine culture, non-responsive to broad spectrum antibiotics and masquerading pyogenic infection leading to pyelonephritis with ureteritis.

Platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin are used as adjuvant or neoadjuvant agents in malignancies of the ovary, cervix, lymphoma, head and neck, and breast. Cisplatin is most commonly used until the carboplatin is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Cisplatin is not tolerated in many patients due to severe nausea and renal tubular injury.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare condition characterized by the presence of fibro-inflammatory tissue surrounding the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries, often leading to the involvement of adjacent organs such as the ureters and inferior vena cava. We present a case report of a 56-year-old Caucasian woman with a complex medical history, including Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy (31 years before), a significant smoking history, and a current presentation of acute kidney injury with oliguria, edema, and hypertension. Initial diagnostic considerations included rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, supported by clinical and imaging findings.
