A 69-year-old man was admitted due to chronic subdural hematoma. He had lymphadenopathies in the neck. The diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (diffuse, large, B cell type) was made by a cervical lymph node biopsy. The renal failure by obstruction of the urinary tract developed gradually, and the tumor cells were found by urinary cytodiagnosis. He was treated immediately with chemotherapy. After the treatment, the urine volume increased and the general conditions improved.
It was indicated from this case that the urinary cytodiagnosis is useful for the detection of urinary tract infiltration by lymphoma cell. The urinary cytodiagnostic abnormalities in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphomas were discussed from the literature, including this case.
