We present the case of a 79-year-old patient who had marked night sweats, abdominal pain in the hypochondrium area and left flank and slight weight loss for 3 months. Physical examination showed pale skin and mucous membranes, splenomegaly that exceeds the left costal margin by 7 cm, smooth surface, and regular surface. The rest of the physical examination was normal. Multiple basic studies were conducted out but the diagnosis was not identified. Due to the presence of great splenomegaly and pancytopenia, it was decided to perform splenectomy, confirming a follicular non-Hodgkin primary splenic lymphoma.

Palavras-chave : Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; primary splenic lymphoma.
