What are toleen lesions?

Splenic lesions are unusual cysts or inflamed areas of superficial tissue on the spleen. Lees can be caused by many different diseases and adverse health conditions, including bacterial and viral infections, abnormal accumulation of immune cells, cancer and direct physical trauma on the organ. Most splenic lesions do not cause physical symptoms, although in some cases blunt pain and mild abdominal swelling may be present. Doctors generally seek to identify and treat the basic cause of lesions to avoid complications. Rarely, the lesion can lead to the development of abscess or cause rupture to be addressed in the emergency room.

Sleen is a relatively small organ located in the upper abdomen near the liver. It plays a role in filtering red blood cells and stimulating the reaction of the immune system to bacteria, viruses and other pathogens in the body. Since the organ receives blood and lymphs, it is susceptible to infections that spread from the lymph node. SECLE LESS CAN CAN ALREADY WHEN SE infections spread inside the spleen and damage the tissue lining. Blood cancer, such as leukemia, can cause malignant lesions and dull trauma on the abdomen can cause deep damage to tissue on the spleen.

Another possible cause of splenic lesions is a disease known as sarcoidosis, which can also affect the lungs, liver and lymph nodes. Sarcoidosis causes the growth of small clusters of abnormal immune cells, causing inflammation and swelling of close tissue. The resulting lesions can be accompanied by fever, fatigue, weight loss and constant abdominal pain.

Splenic lesions can usually be detected by computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning. The doctor can perform CTS or MRI with the intention of looking for lesions or noticing them randomly in screening other problems. When the lesion is detected, a number of blood tests are performed to seek the basic cause. Biopsy can be a novelYet if the correct diagnosis cannot be confirmed by blood tests and imaging scanning.

Treatment of splenic lesions largely depends on the basic cause and severity of symptoms. In the case of bacterial infection, the course of oral or intravenous antibiotics is usually required. If an abscess develops, the surgeon may decide to combine or drain it with a specialized needle. Sarcoidosis symptoms are generally treated with anti -inflammatory drugs and drugs suppressing the immune system. Combination of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery may be necessary if the lesion is cancerous. If the spleen rupts burst or stop functioning as complications of splenic lesions, it may be completely removed.
