Abstract
An 85-year-old man was admitted with massive rectal bleeding from a sp lenocolic fistula that originated in a primary lymphoma of the spleen. This unique case was treated successfully by en bloc resection of the involved organs. The tumor was a Non-Hodgkin's large cell immunoblast ic lymphoma. The clinicopathological implications are discussed and a literature review presented.
