Referring back to an old textbook of mine (Basic Histology by Junqueira et al, 1977), I read that "splenectomy is beneficial in diseases where there is a deficiency in bone marrow function. In these cases, splenectomy is followed by bone marrow activation. This permits the conclusion that the spleen inhibits bone marrow function in these cases. This inhibiting effect has not been proved under normal conditions, but many investigators arue that the spleen has a regulating effect on bone marrow. This effect would be more pronounced in certain pathological states". Can you comment on this in the context of splenic lymphoma (SMZL)? Your thoughts would be most appreciated.
