Primary renal lymphoma: a population-based study in the United States, 1980-2013.

ABSTRACT: Primary renal lymphoma (PRL) is a rare lymphoid malignancy with only a few cases reported in the literature. We performed a population-based study of PRL to determine its incidence, clinical characteristics and factors associated with survival using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. We identified 723 patients with PRL. The most common histological subtype of PRL was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (56.3%). The incidence and mortality rate of PRL was 0.053/100,000 person-years and 0.036/100,000 person-years, respectively. The incidence rate of PRL was increasing significantly with an annual percentage change (APC) of 3.45% (p < 0.001). The 1-year and 5-year relative survival (RS) rates of patients with PRL were 78% and 64%. The RS of patients diagnosed between 2
