Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: A 45-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis complicated with composite lymphoma in the spleen and para-aortic lymph node presented with a one-month history of malaise, weakness and fatigue. Only mesalamine kept ulcerative colitis under control. In physical examination, splenomegaly was revealed and pancytopenia was obtained from laboratory data. Computed tomography scan revealed para-aortic mediastinal lymphadenopathy with splenomegaly. Splenectomy and excisional biopsy of abdominal lymph node were performed and disease was diagnosed as composite lymphoma, consisting of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and nodular sclerosing Hodgkin lymphoma.
