Summary
A rare case of splenic lymphoma with circulating villous lymphocytes (SLVL) was diagnosed in a young male. This presentation highlights unusual clinical features of SLVL, emphasizing diagnostic rarity.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Splenic lymphoma with circulating villous lymphocytes (SLVL) is a rare hematologic malignancy.
- Diagnosis typically relies on peripheral blood and bone marrow examination.
Observation:
- A 25-year-old male presented with hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, and fever.
- Clinical presentation was unusual for the typical demographic of SLVL.
Findings:
- Morphology, cytochemistry, and immunocytochemistry confirmed SLVL.
- Circulating villous lymphocytes were identified in peripheral blood and bone marrow.
Implications:
- This case underscores the importance of considering rare diagnoses in young patients with atypical presentations.
- Highlights the diagnostic utility of integrated hematologic analyses for SLVL.
- Contributes to understanding the spectrum of SLVL presentation.
