ABSTRACT

O linfoma é uma neoplasia originária do sistema linfático, a partir de células linfocitárias. A sintomatologia mais comum é febre, tosse, sudorese noturna, perda de peso, fraqueza e linfoadenopatia indolor. A etiologia ainda permanece desconhecida, tendo sido relacionada ao vírus Epstein-Barr. O diagnóstico se baseia na visualização das células de Reed-Sternberg. O esquema adriamicina, bleomicina, vinblastina e dacarbazina (ABVD) ainda é o tratamento preconizado, associado ou não à radioterapia. Relatamos um caso de linfoma de Hodgkin de apresentação atípica, cujo diagnóstico só foi possível por esplenectomia.(AU)


The lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system originating from lymphocyte cells. The most common symptoms are fever, cough, night sweats, weight loss, weakness, and painless lymphadenopathy. The etiology remains unknown, having been related to the Epstein Barr virus. The diagnosis is based on visualization of Reed Sternberg cells. The adriamycin, bleomicin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (ABVD) regimen is still the preferred treatment, with or without radiation therapy. We report a case of Hodgkin's lymphoma of atypical presentation, the diagnosis of which was only possible through splenectomy.(AU)
