TL;DR: Clinical and roentgenographic indications of bone and joint lesions disappeared completely shortly after corrective of palliative surgery and there appears to be an etiologic connection between HOA and CCHD.
Abstract: We treated two patients with congenital cyanotic heart disease (CCDH) in whom associated hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) developed. Both were severely cyanotic and hypoxic for many years before HOA was fully manifested. Clinical and roentgenographic indications of bone and joint lesions disappeared completely shortly after corrective of palliative surgery. There appears to be an etiologic connection between HOA and CCHD.

TL;DR: The causes of functional asplenia are reviewed, and the rare nature of this phenomenon in lymphomata is stressed.
Abstract: • A 65-year-old woman with a prior history of rheumatoid arthritis with Sjogren's syndrome experienced immunoblastic lymphoma initially seen as fever and subsequent acute splenic enlargement. A technetium Tc 99m sulfur colloid scan disclosed minimal uptake in the spleen, which was compatible with the diagnosis of functional asplenia. Herein, the causes of functional asplenia are reviewed, and the rare nature of this phenomenon in lymphomata is stressed. ( Arch Intern Med 1982;142:2213-2215)
