What is Non- Hodgkin's lymphoma of spleen?

What is the spleen
Located in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen, consists of lymphatic tissue that is highly filtrated with blood vessels. Spleen filters out and destroys old red blood cells, recycles iron, and stores some of the blood supply for the body. Without the spleen, a person's susceptibility to a bloodstream infection may be increased.
