i also thought of sickle cell anemia, in which there is scariing and shrinkage of the spleen, and there might be hemosiderine deposit. can some one differentiate the 2 conditions ___________________ if you haven't any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.

you are right gul ,its gamma gandy nodules...
You know everything gul ...
as far as sickle cell anemia is conserned it would mention about its size and calcification wouldnot be seen ,though small amount of hemosiderin deposition could be found .
