Con el artículo se pretende realizar revisión actualizada sobre el origen, epidemiología, características clínicas, diagnóstico, pronóstico y especialmente del tratamiento del linfoma renal primario. Aunque no existe una terapia estándar dado el bajo número de casos, se revisan los resultados de tratamiento basados en quimioterapia con rituximab descritos en artículos recientes.
