국문 초록

A 10-year-old neutered male, 4.3 kg Pomeranian was presented for regular health screening without clinical signs. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a 3-cm heterogeneous, hypoechoic splenic nodule, further characterized by computed tomography as a welldemarcated, non-enhancing mass without evidence of metastasis. Splenectomy was performed uneventfully, and histopathology confirmed nodular hyperplasia with associated hematoma. Although nodular hyperplasia and hematomas are benign, they can enlarge, rupture, and cause life-threatening hemoabdomen. Comprehensive preoperative evaluation, including coagulation testing, is critical since patients may present with concurrent hemorrhagic or thrombotic risks. This report underscores the importance of early surgical consideration, thorough perioperative monitoring, and client education, even in asymptomatic cases, to prevent fatal complications and improve clinical outcomes.
