==Overview==
The causes of splenomegaly vary widely and range from increased splenic function (such as [[hemoglobinopathies]]), splenic congestion due to abnormal blood flow (such as venous obstruction), and splenic infiltration (such as storage disorders and [[malignancies]]).

Overview

The causes of splenomegaly vary widely and range from increased splenic function (such as hemoglobinopathies), splenic congestion due to abnormal blood flow (such as venous obstruction), and splenic infiltration (such as storage disorders and malignancies).
