“…They found no correlation between histological subtype and prognosis [ 6 ]. Splenic irradiation is also a treatment option for inoperable cases in order to reduce the size of the spleen [ 7 , 8 ].…”

“…Relapse is a common problem with those who suffer from DLBCL, as 40% of those with DLBCL will eventually relapse [ 4 ]. Relapse could be diagnosed with whole body F-deoxyglucose (FDG) PET scan or a splenic biopsy [ 7 ]. Mondello et al conducted a retrospective study on 123 patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL, which showed that lenalidomide at 25 mg/day is a superior therapeutic option than 15 mg/day and it is more effective in patients with non-germinal center B-cell DLBCL [ 10 ].…”

Primary splenic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It often presents with abdominal pain or splenomegaly. We present a case of a 68-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with left sided abdominal pain. Workup revealed massive splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia. A splenic biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of primary splenic DLBCL. The patient was treated with chemotherapy. This case highlights the importance of considering primary splenic DLBCL with splenomegaly and treating it with chemotherapy and/or splenectomy.

Lymphomas are defined as a solid tumor of the lymphoid tissue, of malignant biological behavior, and with great diversity of clinical and histological forms. It originates in lymph nodes in 35% of cases or in the lymphoid tissue of the parenchyma of the original organ in 65% of cases. Lymphomas are classified into two major groups: Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL). The spleen may be involved in a wide variety of lymphomas; in some cases they infiltrated said organ as part of a broad diffusion of a base node other particular lymphoma. Splenectomy with liver biopsy and biopsy of the para-aortic lymph node is the treatment of choice for splenic lymphoma. In patients with low-grade NHL confined to the spleen, complete remission of the associated haematological abnormality may reach approximately seven months after splenectomy. Postoperative adjuvant therapy depends on the clinical stage of the disease.

Resumen Los linfomas se definen como un tumor sólido del tejido linfoide, de comportamiento biológico maligno y con gran diversidad de formas clínicas e histológicas. Se origina en los ganglios linfáticos en un 35% de los casos o en el tejido linfoide del parénquima del órgano original en un 65% de los casos. Los linfomas se clasifican en dos grandes grupos: los tipo Hodgkin (LH) y los no-Hodgkin (LNH). El bazo puede estar implicado por una amplia variedad de linfomas; siendo que en algunos casos se infiltraron a dicho organo como parte de una amplia difusión de un nodo de base u otro linfoma particular. La esplenectomía con biopsia hepática y biopsia de la cadena ganglionar paraaórtica constituye el tratamiento de elección para el linfoma esplénico. En pacientes con LNH de bajo grado confinado al bazo, la remisión completa de la alteración hematológica asociada puede alcanzarse aproximadamente a los siete meses de la esplenectomía. La terapia adyuvante posoperatoria depende del estadio clínico de la enfermedad. (creativecommons.org/licenses/ by-nc-nd/4.0/).
