PINON GARCIA, Karell; ALMEIDA ESQUIVEL, Yudelky  and  TELLO DUANY, Daniel Alejandro. Anesthetic-surgical procedure in an adult with splenomegaly due to primary spleenic lymphoma. MEDISAN [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.1  Epub Feb 25, 2023. ISSN 1029-3019.

The case report of a 30-year-old young adult with a history of good health is described, who was assisted at the Surgery Service of Manuel Ascunce Domenech University Hospital in Camagüey due to volume increase in the abdominal region with a course of two months, concomitant with asthenia, anorexia, vomits and weight loss. Physical examination revealed a globular abdomen (palpable spleen) with no pain, a periumbilical hematoma, and multiple supraclavicular adenopathies; meanwhile, in the imaging studies splenomegaly was evidenced. Splenectomy was performed with administration of general endotracheal anesthesia and the histopathological study of the resected sample confirmed the diagnosis of primary spleenic lymphoma.

Keywords : primary spleenic lymphoma; splenomegaly; general endotracheal anesthesia; splenectomy; histopathological diagnosis.
