Chemotherapy may induce mass lesion in rare conditions, which can be easily mistaken as a residual tumor mass. In this report, we describe a mass affecting spleen in a patient received chemotherapy for non Hodgkin diffuse large B cell lymphoma. This mass proved histologically to be non neoplastic formed of sheets of histiocytes and xanthoma cells, which is called histiocyte-rich pseudotumor. This report describes this rare lesion and the possible differential diagnosis.
