Abstract

A 44-year-old man presented with acute abdominal pain and splenomegaly. Splenectomy was performed by laparoscopy. We diagnosed as a high-grade B-cell lymphoma that is unclassifiable, with intermediate characte- ristics between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma based on its immunohistopathological examination.
