Abstract
A 46-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with abdominal distension and fatigue of 1 month duration. Physical examination revealed several palpable lymph nodes bilaterally in the axilla and groin, ranging from 0.5 cm to 2.0 cm in diameter, with tolerable mobility and no obvious tenderness. Computed tomography (CT) revealed splenomegaly, abdominal effusions, and multiple enlarged lymph nodes.
