Summary

Primary splenic lymphoma often presents as distinct masses, not just enlarged spleens. Imaging and pathological features are key for diagnosis, and splenectomy may be necessary.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Primary splenic lymphoma is a rare malignancy.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on understanding its diverse imaging and pathological manifestations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the imaging, clinical, and pathological characteristics of primary splenic lymphoma.
  • To establish a classification system for splenic lymphoma based on imaging findings.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 21 primary splenic lymphoma cases.
  • Review of plain films, sonograms, and computed tomography (CT) scans.
  • Classification of splenic involvement into four types based on lesion morphology and size.

Main Results:

  • Common clinical symptoms include left upper quadrant pain, weight loss, and fever.
  • The majority of cases presented as large solitary masses (Type 4A/4B) or multifocal masses (Type 3).
  • Imaging revealed hypoechoic lesions and hypodense masses on enhanced scans, with rim enhancement in one case.

Conclusions:

  • Primary splenic lymphoma typically manifests as one or more splenic masses.
  • Splenomegaly alone is an uncommon presentation.
  • Splenectomy may be essential for definitive diagnosis.
