[Splenic marginal zone lymphoma. One case report]

ABSTRACT

Splenic marginal zone Iymphoma is very rare B lymphoma, characterized by an indolent clinical course. We report the case of a 68-year-old woman with morphologic and immunophenotyping findings consistent with splenic marginal zone lymphoma. The patient had a splenomegaly and pancytopenia. The diagnosis was pathological based on a specimen provided by splenectomy. Two year after surgery, the patient had a normal blood count in the absence of any further treatment
