Brief Answer:
High white blood cell count

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Patients having spleen lymphoma will have a high white blood cell count ranging 15,000 cells/mcL or higher.

Since lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphocytes which is a type of white blood cell a high lymphocyte count would be a strong indicator of lymphoma.

Cancerous cells are found in the lymph and marrow in spleen lymphoma.
