Gastrosplenic fistula is an uncommon manifestation of malignancy of the stomach and spleen. The aim of this study is to present our 10-year experience on gastrosplenic fistula secondary to malignant etiology. Endoscopy, imaging, and histopathology records of all the patients with gastric and splenic malignant pathologies were reviewed retrospectively. The protocol was approved by the ethical review board of the institute. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. A total of 5 cases were found to have gastrosplenic fistula. Of these 5 cases, 2 were due to large B cell lymphoma of the spleen, 1 was secondary to Hodgkin's lymphoma of the stomach, 1 case was due to diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the stomach, and 1 patient was secondary to gastric adenocarcinoma. Gastrosplenic fistula is an exceptionally rare complication of gastrointestinal malignancy. Lymphoma of the spleen is the commonest cause while gastric adenocarcinoma causing gastrosplenic fistula is extremely rare. Most cases occur spontaneously. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
