Successful treatment of severe splenic lymphoma ‑associated hemophagocytic syndrome by splenectomy and subsequent chemotherapy: A case report
Oncol Lett. 2024 Mar 22;27(5):222. doi: 10.3892/ol.2024.14355. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTHemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) represents a fatal immunopathology derived from excessive inflammatory reactions. In particular, lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (LAHS) is associated with a dismal prognosis. The current study presented a challenging case of splenic LAHS. A 71-year-old man presented with fatigue and anorexia. Laboratory test results revealed anemia, thrombocytopenia, lactate dehydrogenase elevation and markedly elevated levels of ferritin (6,210 ng/ml) and soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R; 1...

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen can be safely diagnosed by a core percutaneous ultrasound-guided biopsy
Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.17235/reed.2024.10373/2024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a rare benign lesion of the spleen. SANT cannot be distinguished from other benign or malignant splenic tumors based on imaging findings. So, diagnosis relies on histopathologic examination. Although splenectomy is frequently considered as an option, core needle biopsy tissue analysis is safe and accurate to avoid surgery.PMID:38591625 | DOI:10.17235/reed.2024.10373/2024 (Source: Revista Espanola de Enfermedades Digestivas)

Fate of small remnant pancreatic tail in splenic hilum after laparoscopic spleen preserving distal pancreatectomy: a retrospective study
CONCLUSION: In spleen preservation, leaving a small pancreatic tail inside the splenic hilum is feasible and more beneficial to the patient than performing splenectomy in anatomically challenging patients.PMID:38586554 | PMC:PMC10995840 | DOI:10.4174/astr.2024.106.4.211 (Source: Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research)
