Primary splenic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PS-DLBCL) presenting in an asymptomatic patient after sports trauma

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Primary splenic diffuse large cell lymphoma is unusual and accounts for 2% of all splenic lymphomas. The symptoms included left upper abdominal pain, indigestion, loss of appetite, generalized weakness, fever, anemia, and thrombocytopenia or elevated C Reactive Protein. The current case report, to our knowledge the first of its kind, presents unusual clinicopathologic findings, where the patient remained asymptomatic until the time of diagnosis but showed extensive splenic involvement with stage IV disease. Alternatively, the morphologic findings in this case were like to those seen in other Primary Splenic Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma reported in the literature. In conclusion, the present report emphasizes the need for additional case studies and research on the biology of this unusual subset of lymphoma.
