ABSTRACT
Primary splenic lymphoma is a rare disease. It can be defined as a lymphomatous process involving the spleen alone or the spleen and splenic lymph nodes. These lymphomas are usually of non-Hodgkin's type, originating from B-cells. The criteria used for primary splenic lymphoma includes primary symptoms due to splenomegaly, no lymphadenopathy or liver involvement and an interval of 6 months or longer between the detection of splenic involvement and appearance of lymphoma elsewhere. We report a case of a 37-year old female patient who presented with loss of weight and heaviness on the left side of abdomen for duration of 6 months. Splenectomy was performed which revealed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, B-cell type localized to spleen and splenic hilar lymph nodes
