Case Study Assignment (Part 4):
Directions: Below is a case study presentation of a patient with a condition covered in Chapter 9. Read the
case study, and answer the questions below. Some questions will ask for information not included within
this chapter. Use your textbook, a medical dictionary, or any other reference material you choose to
answer these questions.
Patient is a 36-year-old businessman who was first seen in the office with complaints of feeling generally
run down, ascites, intermittent diarrhea, and weight loss. He states he has been aware of these
symptoms for approximately six months, but admits it may have been coming on for closer to one year. A
screening test for mononucleosis was negative. A chest X-ray was negative for pneumonia or bronchitis,
but did reveal enlarged nodules in the left thoracic cavity. In spite of a 35-pound weight loss, he has
abdominal swelling and splenomegaly detected with abdominal palpation. Abdominal ultrasound
confirmed generalized splenomegaly and a 3-cm tumor in the spleen. A lymphangiogram identified the
thoracic nodules to be enlarged lymph nodes. Biopsies taken from the splenic tumor and thoracic lymph
nodes confirmed the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The patient underwent splenectomy for
removal of the primary tumor. He will be referred to an oncologist to begin treatment for the
lymphadenomas.
