Hodgkin lymphoma is a form of malignant lymphoid
neoplasm. It can have various clinical presentations such as
prolonged fever, night sweats, weight loss and
asymptomatic lymphadenopathy. It has a distinct fever
pattern known as Pel Ebstein fever. However, in some
instances, its clinical presentation can mimic some tropical
infections. Here, we present a case of primary splenic
lymphoma masquerading as splenic abscess in a 53-yearold man with underlying dyslipidemia.
