Although the patient had a positive history for recurrent episodes of pancreatitis the characteristic lesions of the hyperchylomicronemia syndrome, such as eruptive xanthomas and lipemia retinalis, were not present and splenomegaly could not be documented [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Eye fundus examination found lipemia retinalis, and abdominal palpation revealed hepatomegaly with no splenomegaly. [elsevier.es]

Hepatomegaly is common, and, if the plasma TG levels are very high, splenomegaly may also be seen. Organomegaly occurs as a result of TG uptake by macrophages, which become foam cells and may rapidly regress with a decrease in dietary fat intake. [clinicaladvisor.com]
