SURGICAL ASPECTS OF SPLENIC DISEASE
Archives of Surgery, 1955ALTHOUGH the spleen is an important component of the reticuloendothelial system, its removal may be beneficial or curative in many hematologic diseases. With the advent of sternal aspiration, which is a relatively simple technique, and with better knowledge of the functions of the hematopoietic system, more and more indications for splenectomy have ...

Splenic Function in Sickle-Cell Diseases
Clinical Science, 19831. Studies of splenic function were carried out on patients with sickle-cell diseases by the measurement of the clearance of autologous heat-damaged 99mTc-labelled erythrocytes from circulation and into the spleen, the spleen area by a scintillation scanning, the enumeration of pitted erythrocytes by direct-interference microscopy, and the percentage ...

Splenic Disease Diagnosis by Radioisotope Scanning
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1962Visualization of an internal organ by radioisotope scanning is primarily dependent on the selective deposition of a γ-emitting radioisotope in the specific organ under study. Just as in cholecystography and renal pyelography, physiological concentrating mechanisms are utilized to concentrate the material.

Histogenesis of Splenic Lesions in Hodgkin’s Disease
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1976Histochemical markers were used to identify the various cellular and structural components of the human spleen, and to investigate the histogenesis of the splenic lesions of Hodgkin's disease. The early lesions appear in areas near the central artery (periarterial lymphatic sheath) in the white pulp. The white pulp becomes hypertrophic.

Splenic sepsis in sickle cell disease
British Journal of Haematology, 1994We describe two patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) who developed infections situated in the spleen. One patient had a splenic abscess and there was strong clinical evidence for an infected splenic infarct in the second patient. SCD predisposes to splenic infection because of functional hyposplenism, defective phagocyte function and splenic ...

Catscratch disease (CSD) should be considered in the differential diagnosis of fever of unknown origin and splenic findings in a patient with a history of cat contact. We report a rare and unusual case of CSD that was diagnosed with the aid of serologic testing and CT scan.

The spleen is a lymphopoietic organ, which is part of the immunoprotective system of the body, in the same way as the lymph nodes. Its situation, under the left hemidiaphragm, in the immediate neighborhood of the abdominal wall and ribs, as well as its very important natural fragility, can explain the importance of its blunt trauma pathology.
