Uncommon Sites of Extranodal Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: Radiological Insights from Two Cases
Abstract: Rare primary extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas involving kidneys and ovaries present significant diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific clinical manifestations and considerable overlap with more common malignancies [1,2]. This report describes two cases including bilateral primary renal lymphoma in an elderly patient and bilateral ovarian Burkitt lymphoma in a pediatric patient. Ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated homogeneous infiltrative lesions associated with lymphadenopathy and absence of significant necrosis, which raised suspicion for lymphoma and guided biopsy decisions [3,4]. Early radiological recognition facilitated timely initiation of chemotherapy and prevented unnecessary surgical intervention. These findings highlight the critical role of imaging in the differential diagnosis of rare extranodal lymphomas and emphasize the importance of recognizing characteristic radiological patterns to improve clinical outcomes.
