TUMORS 



Sarcomatosis is a relatively common condition in the spleen. The 

 majority of the cases observed were primary, but secondary splenic 

 sarcomas do occur. The tumor is usually multiple, the foci varying 

 in size from mere points up to masses as large as a hen's egg. The 

 centers are white or grayish-white in color, and are rather firm. 

 They are usually circumscribed with a thin, fibrous capsule.
