Splenic infarction occurs due to occlusion of splenic vessels that leads to splenic tissue ischemia and necrosis. There are several reports regarding splenic infarction in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Herein, we report a case of acute promyelocytic anemia (AML-M3) who presented with abdominal pain and splenic infarction.

Background: Splenic cysts are rare in all age groups and there are a few reports in the world literature. Primary cysts occur most frequently in children and young adults, comprising around 25% of all nonparasitic splenic cysts. Various techniques are suggested for the treatment of splenic cysts. In this case report, a huge epithelial splenic cyst in a 17-year-old female is presented and differ...

littoral cell angioma is a splenic vascular tumor of splenic sinus lining cells that is considered benign in general. this report describes a case of littoral cell angioma with no malignant histological features. the lesion is composed of anastomosing vascular channels resembling splenic sinus; they are lined by endothelial cells which show mitotic activity very rare. immunohistochemically, the...

splenic tuberculosis is a rare entity, particularly among immunocompetent hosts. hererin, we present a 23 year-old man who was reffered with fever of unknown origin and eventually diagnosed to have splenic tuberculosis with an involvement of a single axillary lymph node as the sole site disease in the other organs.despite two months of treatment with antituberculous agents due to necrotising gr...

cystic disease of the spleen is not frequently encountered in surgical practice. it is broadly classified as parasitic and non-parasitic, the latter being a rare entity. in this case report, an epidermoid cyst of spleen led to acute abdomen in young age pregnant woman is presented. a 26-year-old woman with 15 weeks gestational age second pregnancy referred to emergency ward with left upper quad...

spleen is an unusual location for hydatid cyst. here we report a case of primary splenic hydatid cyst in a 41-yr-old iranian woman from yasuj, southwest of iran. the patient had been admitted to shahid beheshti hospital because of abdominal pain. abdominal sonography revealed a hypoechoic lesion of 150 x 130 mm in the spleen, suggestive of hydatid cyst. splenectomy was performed for the patient...

Backgrounds: It remains unclear whether radiation-induced haemorrhage in the spleen causes iron accumulation, and subsequently, ferroptosis in splenic lymphocytes. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of ferroptosis in splenic lymphocytes of gamma-irradiated mice. Materials and Methods: Mice were subjected to gamma radiation from a 137Cs source. Iron, Ferroportin 1, and iron regulatory...
