Composite lymphoma with more than one well demarcated non‐Hodgkin's or Hodgkin's lymphoma in the same organ or mass is rare. Only 22 such cases, each with two lymphomas, have been reported. We describe a unique case in which there were three non‐Hodgkin's lymphomas, according to the Rappaport's nomenclature, in the spleen and abdominal lymph nodes.
