A case of hemangioma of the spleen which was diagnosed as benign splenic tumor preoperatively is reported.The patient, a 62-year-old woman, was examined for a chief complaint of abdominal and back pain during treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. Current diagnostic imaging modalities including ultra-sonography, computed tomography and celiac angiography revealed a primary tumor in the spleen and the patient underwent standard splencetomy. The spleen was slightly enlarged and showed a hemispheric appearance. The cut surface revealed a capsulated tumor 4.1×3.6 cm in size. The tumor was clearly delineated from the surrounding splenic tissues and the histopathological diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma. The patient made a good postoperative recovery and is currently leading a normal life one year after the operation.Cavernous hemangioma of the spleen is relatively rare and the preoperative diagnosis is naturally very difficult. However recent progress in radiology has made early diagnosis possible.In this report, the detailed preoperative radiological findings are described together with a discussion of the relevant literature. |
