Abstract
A 55year old man presented with cervical adenopathy of two months duration.Biopsy of the node showed T-cell
lymphoma, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. An abdominal CT done for the staging work-up of the
lymphoma, revealed a left renal mass which histologically proved to be renal cell carcinoma [RCC], gradeII, stage I.
An association between RCC and lymphoma is rare and this case is documented for the synchronous and concurrent
occurrence of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma [NHL] of T-cell type and RCC.
Key words: RCC, Synchronous, NHL
