title: [Accessory spleen in children with Hodgkin's disease according to ultrasonic studies].
abstract: Ultrasonography of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space was carried out in 138 children suffering from Hodgkin's disease and in 98 children of the control group. The accessory spleen in the presence of the main spleen was revealed in 7.1% of the children. The regenerative spleen was identified in 8 (30.8%) out of 26 children with Hodgkin's disease, examined after splenectomy. That indicator was significantly higher in girls. The clinical follow-up points to a possibility of the regenerative growth of the dysontogenic accessory spleen following splenectomy. The ultrasonographic appearance and differential diagnostic signs of the accessory spleen are described.
