Key Words	Hepatic steatosis; Inflammation; nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; Psoriasis; Spleen size
Core Tip	The specific role of the spleen in psoriatics could help in more comprehensively understanding the inflammatory mechanism underlying this illness; psoriasis would be the most superficial manifestation of a chronic inflammatory process involving various organs and systems. The increased diameter of the spleen found in psoriatic patients with long-term illness may be the expression of the immune system’s response to the state of chronic inflammation.
