The two patients reported here had renal lymphoma as their major clinical problem. In both cases, death was due to progressive renal failure secondary to almost total renal parenchymal replacement by tumor.CASE REPORTSCASE 1Patient A. C. (SMH 58-97-48), a 31-year-old housewife, was in good health until October, 1963, when she developed a low-grade fever, a chronic nonproductive cough, dyspnea, and chest pain.
