7.Spleen Factor: The Spleen’s Role as a Respiratory Organ

The Bajaus’ ability to free dive for prolonged periods is attributed to their exceptional physiologic response and large spleens. The spleen has been traditionally viewed as a hematologic and immunologic organ. Unconventionally, this review explores the spleen’s role as a respiratory organ and how apnea training can enhance the spleen’s form and function. Eligible articles obtained from Pubmed were discussed. The selected studies have shown that an 8-week home-based apnea training regimen can enhance the spleen volume by as much as 24% and that prolonged apnea training can increase both splenic contraction and baseline serum hemoglobin levels. However, the sample size and heterogeneity of these studies largely limit the generalizability of these findings. Thus, several future studies are needed to further explore the spleen’s respiratory function in humans.

9.Primary non-parasitic splenic cyst: a case report.
Korean Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery 2013;17(3):139-141
Cystic disease of the spleen is a relatively rare disease. It is classified either as a true primary cyst or as a secondary pseudocyst. Most splenic cysts are pseudocysts, which have non-epithelial lining, and are caused by previous abdominal blunt trauma. Conversely, primary splenic cysts have epithelial lining and are subdivided into parasitic and non-parasitic cyst. Non-parasitic primary splenic cyst is considered congenital and comprises about 10% of all splenic cysts. Total or partial splenectomy is the treatment of choice, but parasitic infection must be excluded prior to an operation. In this present report, we described a symptomatic, large primary non-parasitic splenic cyst, which was surgically treated with partial splenectomy.

Primary splenic tumors are rare and mainly found incidentally on radiologic studies. Among them, sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen is a new entity defined as a benign pathologic lesion. Most SANTs have no clinical symptoms and are occasionally accompanied by other splenic diseases such as malignancies. So, the exact diagnosis of the nature of the splenic tumor is mandatory for further treatment. But, preoperative diagnosis is not easy since it is difficult to obtain the tissue from the spleen for pathological study. Recently, laparoscopic splenectomy has become the more standard procedure for the spleen for diagnosis and treatment. Here, we report a rare case of SANT diagnosed following laparoscopic splenectomy.
