Abstract |
Large cell anaplastic lymphoma (ALCL) is characterized mainly by the presence of large, atypical lymphoid cells with anaplastic nuclear morphology and positivity to Ki-1 antigen. We describe, to our knowledge, the fourth reported case of primary ALCL of the spleen. The patient, a 62 year old woman, presented symptoms resembling a splenic abscess.
