ABSTRACT
Los linfomas primarios de bazo afectan al bazo y/o sus ganglios linfáticos inicialmente. Representan <1% de los linfomas e implican un reto diagnóstico, por baja prevalencia y sintomatología inusual. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo fue describir el manejo y evolución de un paciente con VIH-SIDA y la presentación de un Linfoma primario de bazo.En este reporte presentamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 52 años con VIH sin apego a tratamiento debuta con dolor abdominal, fiebre y pérdida de peso de 2 meses de evolución. La tomografía computarizada properatoria revela esplenomegalia y lesiones hipodensas sospechosas de neoformación. Es intervenido, realizándose una laparotomía exploratoria, con esplenectomía. El estudio histopatológico reporta linfoma no Hodgkin.El linfoma primario de bazo es poco frecuente. Es necesario su conocimiento para su sospecha diagnóstica y un diagnóstico diferencial en pacientes con esplenomegalia.Primary splenic lymphomas involve the spleen and/or its lymph nodes. They represent <1% of lymphomas and they imply a diagnostic challenge due to its poor symptomatology and low prevalence.There for, the objects this work describe the management and evolution of a patient with HIV-AIDS and presentation of a primary lymphoma of the spleenIn this report we present the case of a 52-year-old male patient with HIV infection without treatment presented with abdominal pain, fever and a 2-month weight loss. The pre-operative computed tomography showed splenomegaly and hypodense lesions suspected to be tumoral. He was operated on, performing an exploratory laparotomy, performing an splenectomy. The histopathological study reported a non-Hodgkin lymphoma.Primary splenic lymphoma is a non frequent entity. It is necessary to be acquainted with it in order to suspect it.
