    Author: Ambulkar I, Kulkarni B, Borges A, Jagannath P, Advani SH.
    Journal: Leuk Lymphoma; 2006 Jan; 47(1):135-9. PubMed ID: 16321838.
    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.
