    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Hodgkin's disease management involves assessing spleen involvement.
    • Selective splenectomy has been proposed for Hodgkin's disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the histological findings supporting selective splenectomy in Hodgkin's disease.
    • To propose hemisplenectomy for specific spleen involvement patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of lymph node and spleen biopsies.
    • Histological examination of 25 patient samples.

    Main Results:

    • Histological findings support selective splenectomy in Hodgkin's disease.
    • Hemisplenectomy is recommended for involvement near the pancreatic tail and splenic hilum.

    Conclusions:

    • Selective splenectomy is a viable approach for Hodgkin's disease.
    • Hemisplenectomy offers improved assessment of splenic invasion in specific cases.
