In pathology, hyaloserositis is the coating of an organ with a fibrous hyaline, [1] resulting from inflammation of the serous membrane ( serositis) covering the organ. [2]
The spleen is commonly affected and often referred to as sugar-coated spleen. [3] The liver and heart are also sometimes affected and referred to as frosted liver (or sugar-coated liver) and frosted heart respectively. [1]
Hyaloserositis of the spleen is usually considered benign, i.e. it does not necessitate any treatment.
