Abstract
A 80-year-old woman was hospitalized due to anemia and fever. Computed tomography depicted a solitary concentric, sharply marginated lesion of the spleen. Laparotomy identified a creamy-white soft tumor. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin B-cells anaplastic lymphoma. Extended range of pathological manifestations explains the variety of radiological appearances and difficulty in accurate diagnostic process of primary splenic lymphoma.Entities:
