Case Study and Case Report 2023; 13(2): 17 - 20.

Dashtseren Y, Ranishen P. Isolated splenic peliosis: a case report. Case Study and Case Report 2023; 13(2): 17 - 20. ABSTRACT The liver is impacted by peliosis, an uncommon illness having anatomopathological traits. But splenic peliosis is even more unusual and uncommon. Most patients with this condition don't show any symptoms. Due to the significant likelihood of splenic rupture and shock, this disease is also fatal. Here, we describe the case of a 39-year-old Arab woman who presented to the hospital with acute upper abdominal pain that started one week prior to her admission and was accompanied by nausea, anorexia, a low-grade fever, and vomiting. She had no prior medical conditions or histories. A computed tomography scan with contrast revealed several hypodense splenic cysts as well as intraperitoneal free fluid. The result was an emergency exploratory laparotomy with splenectomy. If peliosis is shown to exist in one organ, such as the liver, additional testing is necessary to find out if it exists in any other probable organs that peliosis may impact. Splenic peliosis is incredibly uncommon. Furthermore, there is no proven management strategy for this condition. The only effective treatment is surgery. Splenic peliosis still has many unsolved features that will likely require further study in the near future. Key words: Peliosis, spleen, anatomy
