Splenic marginal zone lymphoma is a rare form of malignant neoplasm, a subtype of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. It is usually present in middle age group with unexplained splenomegaly, abdominal pain, fatigue and weight loss. It is also known as Primary Splenic Lymphoma. Splenectomy is usually chosen as a mode for both diagnosis and treatment. Here we present a case of a 37 years old female with massive splenomegaly who was later diagnosed to have primary splenic lymphoma.Keywords
