Spontaneous Splenic Infarction Secondary to Diabetes-Induced Microvascular Disease

Peter P. Tóth, MD, PhD; Robert K. Reuter, DO; James MacDonald, DO

Arch Fam Med. 2000;9:195-197.

Splenic infarction is a clinical entity seldom encountered. The most frequent causes of splenic infarction include thromboembolic phenomena, hematologic malignant neoplasms, and vasculitides. We describe a patient who sustained splenic infarction secondary to diabetes-induced, small-vessel atherosclerotic disease.
