Renal infiltration presenting as acute kidney injury in Hodgkin lymphoma - A case report and review of the literature.

ABSTRACT: Renal involvement in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is rare, although extralymphatic disease is usually found. Acute kidney injury is a recognized presentation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with bilateral kidney involvement, promptly requiring specific treatment. Regarding to HL, this manifestation is extremely rare and lacks pathologic description and management experiences. Herein, we describe a case of HL with atypical presentation as well as its management, current evaluation by PET-scan and histologic findings. This case report highlights clinical presentation and a successful experience on managing these cases. Moreover, it is important to drive biologic insights for understanding of kidney infiltration mechanism in HL.

Project description:Acute abdominal syndrome can be caused by several possible reasons. The most common causes are perforation of a gastroduodenal ulcer, peritonitis, intestinal obstructions, and perforation of an appendix or fallopian tube. Fever and pain can be caused by an appendicitis or sigmoiditis. Appendiceal lymphoma is a rare disease that is usually found incidentally during appendectomy. Most of the cases are non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Mantle cell lymphoma is an aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with a poorer prognosis than other B-cell lymphomas; thus, a definitive diagnosis is essential. A 60-year-old man presented with right lower quadrant pain. He denied any nausea, vomiting or anorexia and was afebrile. The physical examination revealed right lower quadrant abdomen tenderness. The computed tomography scan revealed periappendiceal fatty stranding with a swollen appendix, approximately 2 cm in diameter and prominent paraaortic, portacaval and mesenteric lymph nodes. A diagnosis of acute appendicitis was made, and laparoscopic appendectomy was performed immediately. The subsequent pathological examination revealed severe congestion with lymphoid hyperplasia. The immunohistochemistry stains revealed positive staining for cluster of differentiation (CD) CD20, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), cyclin D1, SRY-box transcription factor-11 (SOX-11), immunoglobulin D (IgD) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) but negative staining for CD3, CD5, CD10 and CD23. 18F-FDG positron emission tomography showed peripheral lymph node involvement, while the bone marrow biopsy showed negative findings. Therefore, a diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma, Ann Arbor stage IVA, was made. The patient received postoperative combination chemotherapy and remained in a stable condition over a 1-year follow-up period. We report an uncommon case that initially presented as acute appendicitis, for which a final diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma was made. In comparison with other B-cell lymphomas, mantle cell lymphoma has a poorer prognosis, and positive immunochemical staining of cyclin D1 and SOX-11 is useful for differentiating mantle cell lymphoma from other appendiceal lymphomas and treating patients appropriately. Physicians and nursing staff should be also aware of the associated complications and management in these patients.
