ABSTRACT
Pyrexia of unknown origin has always been a challenging problem to diagnose for physicians. Here we present a case of a splenic tumor, which after histopathology and immunohistochemistry, two possibilities were considered, a diffuse large cell lymphoma--plasmablastic variant and second an anaplastic plasmacytoma. The patient was treated with chemotherapy and on followup he has no evidence of recurrence or any residual lesion.
