Abstract/Text: Splenomegaly is a feature of a broad range of diseases, and presents to clinicians in many fields. This review examines the aetiology of splenomegaly in the developed world, and describes a logical approach to the patient with splenomegaly. In some patients, extensive radiological and laboratory investigations will fail to yield a diagnosis: these cases of "isolated" splenomegaly are not uncommon and can be particularly challenging to manage. The risks of serious underlying disease must be balanced against the risks of invasive investigations such as splenic biopsy and diagnostic splenectomy. We discuss the options in isolated splenomegaly and their evidence base, and incorporate them into a management strategy to aid the clinician in cases of diagnostic difficulty.

Splenic Index

古賀の原法では、a×b＞20を脾腫とするが、これはリニア式プローブを用いた数値である。最近のコンベックス式プローブでは描出範囲が広いためa×b＞40を脾腫と考える。

1: The clinical diagnosis of splenomegaly.

Abstract/Text: Assessing for the presence of splenomegaly is an important component of the physical examination. Although several methods of palpation and percussion of the spleen have been described, until recently they have not been validated by noninvasive imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, radionuclide scanning, and computed tomography that offer objective means to assess splenomegaly. We review the literature comparing various physical examination techniques with noninvasive imaging modalities and conclude that palpation and percussion of the spleen are complementary but frequently insensitive and that further studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of specific diagnostic methods.
