Splenic Hemangioma as a Rare Tumor: A Case Report.

Introduction: Splenic vascular lesions include developmental malformations, non-neoplastic lesions, and vascular tumors. Among these tumors, hemangioma is considered benign. Thus far, there have been fewer than 100 cases recorded in the medical literature. Case report: We report herein a patient with splenic hemangioma who underwent splenectomy. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an enlarged spleen measuring 135 mm in craniocaudal length with a large mass lesion measuring 83 mm by 78 mm by 80 mm. The lesion appeared as a clearly demarcated, encapsulated, round, focal lesion that partially bulged the contour. The pathology report showed: Haemangioma capilare lienis. Haemorrhagio recens subscapularis et stasis acuta venosa lienis. Conclusions: The diagnosis is usually made by incidental finding, and the clinical presentation varies. Due to the risk of rupture, splenectomy (whether partial or complete) is the preferred treatment method once this rare disorder is diagnosed.
