Splenic histiocytosis in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: a relative sphingomyelinase deficiency?

Abstract:

:The case of a patient in whom idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) was associated with diffuse splenic histiocytosis is described; the patient's subsequent sphingomyelinase level was at the lower limits of the normal range. The patient's splenic lecithin:sphingomyelin ratio was not significantly different from that of 11 age-matched control subjects. It is postulated that the sporadic cases of splenic histiocytosis in patients with ITP are due to a relative, acquired sphingomyelinase deficiency.

  • Prognostic parameters of endometrial carcinoma.

    abstract::Endometrial carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the female genital tract in the Western world. Approximately 80% of cases are well- to moderately differentiated (endometrioid) adenocarcinomas, which are confined to the uterine corpus at diagnosis, and thus most can be cured. Conversely, high-grade (ie, cle...
