| Popis: | Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen is an extremely rare benign lesion. We herein report a case of asymptomatic SANT of the spleen in a middle-aged woman with early breast carcinoma and an undiagnosed splenic mass, which was successfully treated by laparoscopic splenectomy and diagnosed postoperatively. We also review the literature on SANT to help make knowledge more accessible when clinicians encounter a splenic tumor. The present case taught us the following lesson: the presence of a splenic lesion during follow-up for malignancy is not always indicative of metastasis. Therefore, SANT should be considered in the differential diagnosis. |
