Abstract: Thrombocytosis is frequently encountered as an incidental laboratory finding [1]. The commonetiologies of reactive thrombocytosis are infection, trauma, surgery, and occult malignancy. Splenectomy was found to be one of the main causes of thrombocytosis. The probability of thrombocytosis in patients who have had splenectomy is about 75∼82% and about 9% of all reactive thrombocytosis occurrences are caused by this procedure. The platelet count in reactive thrombocytosis is expected to normalize after their solution of the underlying condition [2]. We experienced a patient of extreme thrombocytosis after splenectomy without any complications such as bleeding or thrombosis.
