 ''NB:Be aware of age-related changes regarding the spleen''
-==Splenic Lesions==
+Splenic Lesions
 *splenomegaly is the main clinical finding associated with the spleen in disease
-===Splenitis===
-===Anthrax===
+[[Splenitis]]
-===Torsion===
-===Haemolytic Anaemia===
+[[Splenic Torsion]]
-===Chronic Venous Congestion===
+[[Haemolytic Anaemia]]
+Chronic Venous Congestion
 *this may be seen along with chronic venous congestion of the liver in cases of chronic cardiac failure
-===Barbituates===
+Barbituates
 * administration of barbituates can produce a degree of splenomegaly due to splenic engorgement by erythrocytes
-===Splenic Tumours===
-*these are important surgically since splenomegaly can be diagnoses clinically by palpation or X-ray and some are surgically curable
+[[Splenic Neoplasia]]
-====Hyperplastic Nodules or Benign Lymphoma====
-*very common incidental findings in older dogs
+[[Splenic Infarction]]
-*should not be mistakenly identified as pathognomic lesions
-*consist of nodules of hyperplastic white and red pulp
+[[Splenic Rupture]]
-:- usually 1-2 cms in size, but occasionally may be larger
-:- spherical
-:- protrude hemispherically from the surface as yellow and red mottled nodules
-*infrequently, may rupture and give rise to haemorrhage
-====Haemangioma====
-*benign tumour of dogs
-*may grow to considerable size
-:- the size of the lesion giving rise to clinical signs is compounded by haemorrhage from and into the tumour
-:- thus, a large mass of apple size may be found protruding from the spleen and adherent to the omentum
-*on section, it is largely blood clot
-*responds well to surgery
-:- therefore it must be distinguished from haemangiosarcoma
-====Haemangiosarcoma====
-*highly malignant tumour of dogs
-*distinguished from the superficially similar haemangioma by the presence of much more formed, solid tumour tissue
-*accurate prognosis demands histological examination
-*secondaries are common locally in the [[Peritoneal cavity - Anatomy & Physiology#Omentum|omentum]] and in the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]]
-:- course is usually short, often only a month or two
-:- metastases may occur in almost every organ
-====Haematopoietic Neoplasms====
-=====lymphosarcoma=====
-* splenomegaly occurs in multicentric lymphosarcoma
-*splenic enlargement may be marked if any form of lymphosarcoma is in leukaemic phase
-=====myeloid (granulocytic) leukaemia=====
-*rare
-*all species
-*extreme form with spleen approaching liver size
-=====systemic mastocytosis=====
-*cat
-*extreme form with spleen approaching liver size
-===Infarction===
-===Rupture===
