Today we operated on a patient with a large spleen. She was symptomatic with pain and satiety. Splenomegally is common in the tropics. The causes can be many including parasitic infections (especially malaria), viral infections, blood disorders, infiltrative conditions, congestive splenomegally and tropical splenomegally syndrome. We suspect our lady has a lymphoproliferative disorder since she has a high white count.
