ABSTRACT
We report here a case of hepatic lymphoma and splenic aspergillosis in an elderly patient with diabetes mellitus, exhibiting hepatosplenic abscesses mimicking melioidosis. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of a diffuse hepatic large B-cell lymphoma. Biopsy of the spleen revealed a clump of fungus with a slender shape and dichotomous branching, morphologically consistent with aspergillosis. Hepatosplenic abscesses are a common presentation in melioidosis, but this case reveals this assumption can lead to misdiagnosis. Histological and microbiological confirmation are required, especially in patients with hepatosplenic lesions.
