Splenic lymphoma with villlous lymphocytes(SLVL) is a B cell chronic lymphoproliferative disorder which affects predominantly elderly males. Most patients present with splenomegaly without lymphadenopathy and a lymphocytosis.
This report describes a case of SLVL in 66 year old male who complained abdominal discomfort and abdominal mass. The leukocyte count was 47.8±10 9/L with
89% atypical lymphocytes showing variable amout of moderately basophilic cytoplasm and unevenly distributed or polar cytoplasmic villi. The bone marrow was effaced with these neoplastic lymphocytes. The immunophenotype of the neoplastic B cells was CDl9(+), CD2O(+), CD22(+), CDllc(+), CD2(-), CD3(-), CD5(-), CDIO(-), CD25(-) and
CDl5(-). The cytogenetic findings exhibited 46,XY,del(3)(q24),del(10)(p12). The spleen was weighted 520g and had nodular infiltrates of neoplastic B cells in the region of the white pulp with minimal red pulp involvement.
