We report a case of a 75-year old man that came at hematologist’s attention for lymphoma evaluation due to axillary lymph node enlargement and fever. Thorax, abdomen and pelvis Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) showed lymph nodes, spleen and liver lesions. Axillary lymph node biopsy was performed and the diagnosis of marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) at stage IV was postulated, then the p...

Wandering spleen is a rare condition with a reported incidence of less than 0.5% in which the spleen migrates from its normal anatomical location to any other position in the abdomen. Women constitute 80% of cases and one third of the overall patients are children. It has different clinical presentations such as asymptomatic, painless mass in the abdomen, intermittent abdominal pain and acute a...

Bacterial cold water disease (BCWD) is one of the frequent causes of elevated mortality in salmonid aquaculture. Previously, we identified and validated microsatellites on chromosome Omy19 associated with QTL (quantitative trait loci) for BCWD resistance and spleen size in rainbow trout. Recently, SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphism) have become the markers of choice for genetic analyses in ra...

background portal vein thrombosis (pvt) is one of the most common causes of extrahepatic portal hypertension in children, which may follow neonatal umbilical vein catheterization. the incidence rates of catheter-related pvt, in infants and children vary in different studies. this study aimed to determine pvt incidence in the children under 3 years old with a history of neonatal umbilical vein c...

A series of experiments was designed determining the seeding and ultimate to study the effect of spleen size on retention of CFU in the spleen of a the seeding and retention of spleen recipient mouse is the size of the colony-forming units (CFU) after inspleen. It is concluded that the most jection into irradiated mice. The cellureasonable value of the fraction’ of larity of the spleens of reci...

GUNTHEROTH, WARREN G., AND GAY L. MULLINS. Limr and spleen as venous reservoirs. Am. J. Physiol. 204(1) : 35-41. I g63.-The diameter of the liver and spleen was measured in 37 intact unanesthetized dogs. Fright always produced vigorous contraction of the spleen but no appreciable change in the liver. Running on a treadmill caused splenic contraction in only one-half the instances. The liver usu...

It is generally stated that the spleen rarely if ever enlarges sufficiently to become palpable in uncomplicated congestive heart failure. Rolleston (1908) and Held (1919) both concluded that a palpable spleen in congestive failure was due to some complication. Talley and Lindsey (1924) in 198 cases ofcongestive failure in adults found 3 with palpable spleens. Fishberg (1940) in discussing the q...
