Abstract
We report a splenoma associated with an important megakaryocyte seques tration in peliotic sinuses. The diagnosis was done on surgical specim en of splenectomy performed for a painful splenomegaly occuring in a 7 1-year-old man presenting a primary idiopathic myelofibrosis. Histopat hological features of these splenic microvascularisation disorders, ma inly occuring during hemopathy involving the spleen, are discussed. Th is case seems to confirm the hypothesis that splenoma could be an acqu ired splenic disease.
