Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 1
Abstract
Splenic lymphoma or primary malignant lymphoma of the spleen is rare with reported incidence less than 1% of all Non Hodgkin’s lymphomas. Some authors consider PMLS is an entity limited to the spleen and splenic hilum. Most PMLS are of B cell origin, most common histological picture being low grade or intermittent grade lymphomas. Clinical picture of anemia and pan cytopenia which are usually refractory to medical therapy may be due to PMLS.
