[Anatomo-pathologic study of biopsies taken in 250 exploratory laparotomies for XXXX ].

@entity1 @entity978 @entity5 @entity4558
During systematic laparotomies in @entity1 with @entity978 , the spleen is removed and multiple visceral biopsies (lymph nodes, liver, bone marrow) are done. In 58,8% of the cases, the spleen is normal. In 41,2% of the @entity1 , the spleen shows localizations of @entity978 . A tumoral spleen has sometimes a normal size (34,9% of the involved spleen). A huge spleen is not always involved by @entity5 (10% of the spleens without @entity5 ). When the spleen is tumoral, lymph node involvement is more frequent and more diffuse. Generally the liver is not involved when the spleen is not tumoral. Hepatic tumoral localizations are disclosed by biopsies in 16% of the @entity1 with @entity4558 . Bone marrow localization is found in 5,7% of the cases with @entity4558 . So exploratory laparotomy were precise pathological studies allow a better appreciation of the real extension of the lesions in @entity978 .
