Abstract
Amyloidosis is a term describing the extracellular deposit of fibrils composed of subunits of several different normal serum proteins in various tissues. Amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis contains fibrils that are composed of fragments of monoclonal light chains. Many different disorders and conditions can lead to spontaneous splenic rupture, including AL amyloidosis. We present a case of a 64-year-old woman with spontaneous splenic rupture and hemorrhage. A final diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis secondary to plasma cell myeloma was made with infiltrative cardiomyopathy and possible diastolic congestive heart failure exacerbation. We also provide a narrative review of all documented cases of splenic rupture associated with amyloidosis from the year 2000 until January 2023, along with the main clinical findings and management strategies.

Splenic rupture following lenograstim in post-autologous stem cell transplantation treated with emergency open splenectomy: a case report and literature review.

Abstract
Granulocyte-colony stimulating factors (G-CSFs) are the cornerstone of peripheral blood stem cell mobilization and apheresis. However, splenic rupture following G-CSF treatment represents a serious and potentially fatal adverse event. Here, we report the case of a patient in their late 50s with severe pancytopenia post-autologous stem cell transplantation reinfusion suffering from splenic rupture after treatment with lenograstim. We also reviewed the literature describing cases of splenic rupture during G-CSF administration.

Jing W, Guo X, Qin F, Li Y, Wang G, Bi Y, Jin X, Han L, Dong X, Zhao Y. G-CSF shifts erythropoiesis from bone marrow into spleen in the setting of systemic inflammation. Life Sci Alliance 2020; 4:4/1/e202000737. [PMID: 33234677 PMCID: PMC7723243 DOI: 10.26508/lsa.202000737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2020] [Revised: 11/08/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The anemia of inflammation is related in part to abnormal erythropoiesis in bone marrow. G-CSF regulates granulopoiesis and is increased during systemic inflammation. Here, we have showed that high levels of G-CSF are associated with repression of bone marrow erythropoiesis and expansion of splenic erythropoiesis in Escherichia coli-infected mice and lipopolysaccharide-treated mice. Under lipopolysaccharide-induced systemic inflammatory conditions in mice, G-CSF neutralization with antibody alleviated the blockage of bone marrow erythropoiesis, prevented the enhancement of splenic erythropoiesis, ameliorated splenomegaly, and reduced the brittleness of spleen. We further demonstrated that after lipopolysaccharide treatment, TLR4-knockout mice display low levels of G-CSF, healthy bone marrow erythropoiesis, almost no stress erythropoiesis in the spleen, and normal size and toughness of spleen. In addition, we found HIF-mediated erythropoietin production is essential for splenic erythropoiesis in the setting of G-CSF-induced suppression of bone marrow erythropoiesis. Our findings identify G-CSF as a critical mediator of inflammation-associated erythropoiesis dysfunction in bone marrow and offer insight into the mechanism of G-CSF-induced splenic erythropoiesis. We provide experimentally significant dimension to the biology of G-CSF.
