Abstract: 
The results appeared that in this study, histopathological examination of spleen of mouse treated with 12, 25, 50 μgmL-1 of Aflatoxin B1. gross-examination showed clear pathological changes in examined spleen of showed deposition of amyloid like substance  in congested red pulp in other section ,the main lesions  characterized  by  inflammatory cells particularly  mononuclear cells infiltration in congested red pulp  fatty changes were  seen in spleen in addition to  extensive apoptosis of lymphocytes in white  pulp that characterized  by cellular debris in  multiple irregular spaces  the spleen revealed  mononuclear cells in congested blood vessels  with depletion of white pulp with apoptosis of lymphocytes in white pulp.
