“Bone marrow–liver–spleen-type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma” presenting with cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia: a case report
Though there are reported cases of primary bone marrow diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presenting with cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia, no such cases of bone marrow-liver-spleen-type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma have been reported. As this unique entity has a rather grim prognosis, it is of utmost importance to identify it early and treat aggressively. Owing to the limited availability of published accounts of this uncommon disease, we believe it is important to document our case to add to the understanding of this rare condition and its various presentations, which can easily be misinterpreted.
