Massive compensatory hepatic myeloid metaplasia occurs infrequently after splenectomy for myeloid metaplasia, and it usually develops gradually over several years if it does occur. In this report, a patient is described in whom massive hepatomegaly and evidence of portal hypertension developed within three months of splenectomy. Early evidence for rapid hepatic growth was present at a second laparotomy three weeks after the first surgery, and probably should have triggered initiation of chemotherapy. Indications for splenectomy in these patients, surgical morbidity, and response to splenectomy are discussed.
