Spleen - Necrosis





comment:
Splenic necrosis ( Figure 1





recommendation:
Whenever present, necrosis of the spleen should be diagnosed and assigned a severity grade. If splenic necrosis is secondary to a lesion such as thrombus or neoplasia, it should not be diagnosed but should be described in the narrative. Secondary lesions, such as inflammation or hemorrhage, should not be diagnosed separately unless warranted by severity, but should be described in the pathology narrative.references:
