          Abstract

          Renal involvement in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is rare. We present the case of a man followed for MCL presented with acute kidney injury and positive antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) type anti proteinase 3 (PR3). He was treated as for a rapidly progressing glomerulonephritis with cyclophosphamide and methylprednisolone followed by oral prednisone. Renal biopsy revealed diffuse endocapillary proliferation and segmental extracapillary proliferation in four glomeruli. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the renal invasion of lymphomatous cells. He started improving his renal function shortly after starting treatment. The coexistence of renal MCL infiltration, extracapillary proliferation and ANCA positive is exceptional.

          Kidney involvement in leukemia and lymphoma.

          Leukemia and lymphoma are hematologic malignancies that can affect any age group. Disease can be aggressive or indolent, often with multiorgan system involvement. Kidney involvement in leukemia and lymphoma can be quite extensive. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is quite prevalent in these patients, with prerenal and acute tubular necrosis being the most common etiologies. However other prerenal, intrinsic, and obstructive etiologies are possible. AKI can be a direct effect of the malignancy, a complication of the malignancy, or the consequence or side effect of chemotherapy. Nephrotic syndrome and glomerulonephritis, often presenting without overt kidney failure, have also been seen in all forms of leukemia and lymphoma. Lastly, the direct effects of the malignancy and complications from the tumor often result in numerous electrolyte disturbances and acid-base disorders, with life-threatening consequences if left untreated.

            Subacute bacterial endocarditis with positive cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies and anti-proteinase 3 antibodies.

            To report a potentially important limitation of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) testing: positive results in patients with subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE). We describe 3 patients with SBE who presented with features mimicking ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) and positive findings on tests for cytoplasmic ANCA (cANCA) by indirect immunofluorescence and for anti-proteinase 3 (anti-PR3)antibodies by antigen-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We also reviewed the published literature describing infectious diseases with (misinterpreted) positive ANCA results through a Medline search of English-language articles published between 1966 and January 1999. These previously reported cases were reinterpreted using an ANCA scoring system that combines the findings of immunofluorescence and antigen-specific ELISA testing. We are now aware of a total of 7 cases of SBE with positive cANCA and anti-PR3 antibodies. We are not aware of any cases of SBE associated with antimyeloperoxidase/perinuclear ANCA. Clinical manifestations mimicking AAV included glomerulonephritis, purpura, epistaxis, or sinus symptoms in 6 of the patients. Streptococcal species were identified in 5 patients, and cardiac valvular abnormalities were demonstrated in 6. All patients except 1, who died of a complication of SBE, recovered with antibiotic therapy. Findings of tests for anti-PR3/ cANCA antibodies may be positive in patients with SBE. When encountering ANCA positivity in patients suspected of having systemic vasculitis, physicians should take appropriate steps to rule out infectious diseases, including SBE, before committing the patient to long-term, aggressive immunosuppressive therapy.

              Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-positive pauci-immune glomerulonephritis associated with mantle cell lymphoma

              Renal involvement in non-Hodgkin lymphoma, especially mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is rare. A 77-year-old man presented with acute kidney injury (AKI), which rapidly progressed to dialysis dependence. Kidney biopsy revealed patchy B-cell lymphocytic aggregates in the interstitium, which were positive for cyclin D1, consistent with atypical CD5-negative MCL as confirmed by the detection of translocation t(11;14) by FISH. Crescents were noted in 3 of 26 glomeruli; while PR-3 antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positivity and negative immunofluorescence suggested an additional pauci-immune (rapidly progressive) glomerulonephritis pattern of injury. Patient received chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone), which improved his renal function and allowed for discontinuation of hemodialysis. However, he died from pulmonary hemorrhage 8 months after initial presentation. This is the first reported case of a patient with coexistence of renal MCL infiltration and ANCA-positive pauci-immune glomerulonephritis.
