Abstrakt: | Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) most commonly presents as lymphadenopathy (LAD), fevers, night sweats, weight loss, splenomegaly, and blood count abnormalities. While extranodal involvement as an initial presentation can occur, it is uncommon. At initial diagnosis, MCL most commonly presents as widespread, advanced stage III or IV lymphoma. Given advanced stage MCL at presentation, it is important for medical practitioners to recognize unusual extranodal presentations of MCL for earlier diagnosis and treatment planning. Here, we present a case of MCL initially presenting as cholecystitis and bilateral nephromegaly in a 53-year-old male patient.
