title: Amyloid tumor of the spleen.
abstract: An unusual case of amyloid tumor of the spleen that developed in a patient with malignant lymphoma is reported. A splenectomy performed for a persistent splenic lesion after an otherwise complete response to chemotherapy revealed the amyloid tumor. To our knowledge, amyloid tumor has not been previously described in the spleen.
