Abstract

The case of 37-year-old male with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with prominent splenomegaly is presented. The spleen that was removed for analysis had a weight of 2690 grams and a section inspection revealed multiple, whitish, small nodules that were disseminated throughout the entire spleen. It was microscopically demonstrated to be a B-Cell lymphoma of diffuse, medium-sized cells and an IgM.kappa Type. This case also was complicated by a high serum titer of cold agglutinin that was decreased by chemotherapy.
