We have presented a patient with marginal NHL of Splenic type. The disease was manifested<br />

in splenomegaly and leukocytosis, without lymphadenopathy. The diagnose was<br />

set by immunocytochemical and immunophenotypic assessment of the peripheral<br />

blood. The patient was treated with 8 cycles of chemotherapy following the COP scheme<br />

in combination with Rituximab. Following treatment, complete remission was achieved.<br />

18 months later, the disease was manifested in splenomegaly, leukocytosis with 9%<br />

atypical lymphatic cells in the peripheral blood, multiple masses of solid peritoneal and<br />

omental tumours in size up to 6.5 cm, same as massive ascites with cytologically proven<br />

lymphoma cells.<br />
