title: [Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the spleen and hepatitis C. Report of a clinical case].
abstract: We report a clinical case of a patient affected by splenic non-Hodgkin lymphoma and virus C hepatitis. It seems that this kind of association is original because as far as we know the association between non-Hodgkin lymphoma and HCV did not include non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving the spleen. Indeed, in our patient, there was an increase of CD/57 lymphocytes. In our opinion this could be interesting in the disorders of the immune system associated with lymphoma.
