Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the spleen presenting as space occupying lesion: a case report and review of literature

Indumati Ambulkar et al. Leuk Lymphoma. 2006 Jan.

Abstract

Primary splenic lymphoma (PSL) is rare with a reported incidence of less than 1%. Diffuse large cell pathology has been reported in 22-23% of the cases and is felt to have poor outcome. This study reports a 50 year old male who presented with fever and weakness. He was found to have a mass lesion in the spleen documented by CT scan. A splenectomy was performed which showed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Immunohistological studies showed a positivity for CD20 and CD30.
