quoted from CNN.com:
Koivu was hospitalized for tests Tuesday night after complaining of abdominal pain and vomiting following his arrival from his native Finland on Monday.
An ultrasound exam showed an abnormal buildup of fluid in a chamber of Koivu's abdominal cavity, said team physician Dr. David Mulder. Fluid taken from the area contained malignant cells, he said, and now further biopsies and other testing is taking place to learn more about the illness.
"We found malignant cells. They would basically fall into two broad categories," Mulder said. "One we're looking at would be in the field of lymphomas, which is cancer of the lymph system. The other would be a tumor in any other part of the abdominal cavity.
"We're hoping that this will be a kind of lymphoma. Now the best kind of lymphoma is Hodgkin's, and then the worst kind is almost like an acute leukemia, associated with a high mortality rate. We're hoping he'll have the good kind."
All I can say is terrible....... only 26 yers old. God.
