18.6 Conclusion
The urinary tract is a common site for extranodal spread of lymphoma, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Contrast-enhanced CT remains the preferred imaging modality for the detection of renal lymphoma. Magnetic resonance imaging is useful in special circumstances, particularly when the patient cannot tolerate intravenous contrast. Ultrasound has only a limited role except as a guidance modality for percutaneous biopsy.
