Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is a rare and aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that affects the liver and spleen. It is a type of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and is characterized by the presence of large, abnormal T-cells in the liver and spleen. Symptoms of HSTCL include abdominal pain, fever, weight loss, and enlarged lymph nodes. Treatment typically involves chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

The most common symptoms of Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma include:

-Fever
-Night sweats
-Weight loss
-Abdominal pain
-Enlarged liver and/or spleen
-Jaundice
-Itching
-Fatigue
-Lymphadenopathy
-Skin rash
-Bone pain
-Nausea and vomiting
-Diarrhea

The exact cause of Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is unknown. However, it is believed to be associated with certain genetic mutations, such as those in the JAK2 gene, as well as certain environmental factors, such as exposure to certain chemicals, radiation, or viruses. Additionally, HSTCL is more common in people with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS or those who have had an organ transplant.

The treatments for Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, stem cell transplant, and targeted therapy. Chemotherapy is the most common treatment and involves using drugs to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells. Stem cell transplant is a procedure in which healthy stem cells are transplanted into the patient to replace the cancerous cells. Targeted therapy is a newer type of treatment that uses drugs to target specific molecules involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells.

At this time, there is no known cure for Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma. Treatment typically involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or stem cell transplantation. Medications used to treat this type of lymphoma include corticosteroids, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and etoposide.
