Unusual presentation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the spleen.
We report a patient with highly malignant primary centroblastic lymphoma of the spleen (diffuse, large non-cleaved cell type). The tumor presented as splenomegaly due to a large mass containing diffuse punctuate calcifications. The latter have not been previously described as a radiological finding in this neoplasm.
