    Author: Diebold J, Audouin J.
    Journal: Pathol Res Pract; 1988 Aug; 183(4):446-52. PubMed ID: 3186545.
    Abstract:
    In 2 patients with a long lasting cortico-dependent chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, splenectomy in one and ablation of an accessory spleen in the other, disclosed a complex association of splenoma, peliosis and lipidosis of the spleen, with a secondary sea blue histiocytosis in one case. The relation of this curious association with thrombocytopenia and with the long treatment with corticosteroids is discussed, with a review of the literature.
