Two cases of patients with disseminated histiocytic lymphoma are presented in which positive urine cytology provided evidence of renal involvement. In addition to malignant cells, the urine sediment characteristics included renal tubular epithelial cell exfoliation, renal epithelial fragments and pathologic cast formation, which distinguished renal from lower urinary tract involvement. Such cytologic observations may be useful in differentiating among the various causes of renal disease in patients with malignant lymphomas.
本文报告了两例播散性组织细胞淋巴瘤患者，其尿细胞学检查阳性为肾脏受累提供了证据。除恶性细胞外，尿沉渣特征还包括肾小管上皮细胞脱落、肾上皮碎片和病理性管型形成，这些特征可将肾脏受累与下尿路受累区分开来。此类细胞学观察结果可能有助于鉴别恶性淋巴瘤患者肾脏疾病的各种病因。
