ABSTRACT
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most prevalent type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and typically presents in patients who are at least 60 years old with gastrointestinal (GI) tract involvement. We report a case of a young patient with DLBCL. A 27-year-old African American male presented to the emergency room with complaints of abdominal distention. Imaging showed hepatosplenomegaly with multiple nodular lesions in both the liver and spleen. The biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of DLBCL. This case report highlights a rare clinical presentation of DLBCL due to the uncommon hepatic initial presentation of the disease paired with the patient's age and race varying significantly from the demographic norm. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for DLBCL in patients with atypical extranodal involvement, such as in this patient, to optimize patient outcomes.
