RESUMEN
La angiomatosis difusa del bazo constituye una causa de esplenomegalia no tenida en cuenta habitualmente en el diagnóstico diferencial de este problema clínico. Se ha relacionado con infecciones por diversos microorganismos del tipo Bordetella. Se presenta un paciente del sexo masculino con dolor en hipocondrio izquierdo de 2 meses de evolución y esplenomegalia aislada. Tras la esplenectomía se precisa el diagnóstico de angiomatosis difusa del bazo. No se pudo relacionar esta con infección por Bordetella. Se concluye que este diagnóstico debe tenerse en cuenta ante cualquier paciente con esplenomegalia aislada.
ABSTRACT
Diffuse splenic angiomatosis is a cause of splenomegaly that is not usually considered in the differential diagnosis of this clinical problem. It has been related to infections caused by different Bordetella microorganisms. A male patient with pain on the left hypochondrium of 2 months of evolution and isolated splenomegaly was presented. After splenectomy, the diagnosis of diffuse splenic angiomatosis was confirmed. It could not be connected with Bortedella infection. It was concluded that this diagnosis should be taken into account in any patient with isolated splenomegaly.
