abstract={Primary splenic diffuse large B cell lymphoma is rarely clinical entity and comprises 1% of all malignant lymphomas. The spleen is also involved in immune defense against blood-borne antigens. Though the haematological malignancies, spleen is usually affected as a part of multisystemic involvement rather than isolated involvement. More than half of patients affected by Hodgkin's disease and about a third of those with non-Hodgkin lymphoma have splenic involvement. The involved spleen may be complicated with rupture due to massive splenomegaly, which may need urgent intervention. In this report, we present a 47-year-old female patient with massive splenomegaly, who was diagnosed with primary splenic diffuse large B cell lymphoma after splenectomy.},
