Abstract
A 54-year-old woman with persistent fatigue and a high fever presented with central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) on brain imaging, despite the absence of neurological symptoms. The patient had a slightly low serum sodium concentration. Further investigation led to a diagnosis of primary splenic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PS-DLBCL). Brainstem auditory-evoked potentials (BAEP) indicated minor abnormalities. CPM was successfully resolved after splenectomy and immunochemotherapy. This is the first reported case of CPM in a patient with PS-DLBCL confirmed by a pathological diagnosis following splenectomy and BAEP-detected abnormalities that improved with immunochemotherapy.
