https://doi.org/10.34215/1609-1175-2025-2-78-81
Abstract
The scientific article presents a clinical case involving a diagnostic search related to splenic disease. The patient underwent a comprehensive examination and consultations with various specialists. As a result, a benign nature of the lesion in the unpaired parenchymal organ was established, and a follow-up management strategy was adopted, involving observation over the course of one year, followed by re-evaluation and a final decision on further management. The article analyzes data from current domestic and international literature sources concerning splenic pathology. The authors identified key features, emphasized the complexity of diagnosing splenic diseases, and highlighted the importance of histological examination of the affected organ to ensure an accurate final diagnosis
