SummaryThe effect of total and partial splenectomy on the number and production of circulating platelets was studied in mice. Five days after total and partial splenectomy the number of the peripheral blood platelets increased by 87% and 60%, respectively and the incorporation of 75selenium methionine (75Se-Met) into platelets was enhanced indicating that the thrombocytosis was due to increased platelet production. The results obtained by the two operative procedures were compared.Since previous work from our laboratory has shown that a factor produced by splenic lymphocytes affects the platelet number in mice, it is suggested that the differences in the number of circulating platelets observed in animals after total and partial splenectomy may reflect a difference in the number of spleen lymphocytes removed.

Abstract Splenic hamartoma is a rare, benign vascular proliferation that is often found incidentally while working up other complaints or at autopsy. Women more commonly present with symptoms related to mass effect than men. Histologic findings consist of unorganized vascular channels of varying width, with intervening red pulp–like disorganized stroma with or without lymphoid follicles. The endothelial cells are similar to those of normal splenic sinuses. Although rendering a diagnosis can be difficult, endothelial cells that are positive for CD8 are a key feature that differentiate hamartoma from other vascular lesions of the spleen. Clinical, radiologic, and histologic correlation is essential to ensure this benign lesion is not mistaken for malignancy.
