Abstract
Lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) is a type of non Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is highly malignant and aggressive. Most patients have poor prognosis. Extramedullary involvement of B-LBL is very common, and the most vulnerable tissues are skin, bone, and soft tissues. Primary renal B-LBL is rarely reported. In this article, we report an 8-year-old boy who was admitted to hospital due to abdominal pain and vomiting. He was diagnosed with B lymphoblastoma by CT guided renal biopsy and bone marrow puncture. We review the clinical characteristics and diagnosis and treatment process of this case.
