Some samples for biopsy are taken, after being surgically operated of a splenectomy, showing as a result a non-Hodkin lymphoma of big cells resulting cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma CD20 Positive, without hepatic, ganglionic or epiploic infiltration. Splenectomy and chemotherapy were made. The patient has improved favorably.
