Acute renal failure (ARF) in patients with malignancy occurs due to causes such as prerenal, renal and post renal as in normal population. Tumor infiltration of kidneys is usually uncommon. However, renal function may be impaired in fast-growing hematological malignancies such as acute leukemia or lymphoma, depending on tumor involvement. Herein, we presented a case of ARF and later diagnosed as B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. 54-year-old male patient was admitted due to ARF. Although development of ARF due to tumor infiltration is rare, in cases who did not have risk factors for development of ARF, leukemic or lymphomatous infiltration should be considered.
