Primary Spelnic Hemangioma with Spenunculi at Greater Sac: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Primary tumors of the spleen are rare and with the exception of malignant lymphoma are seldom considered in the differential diagnosis of splenomegaly. Such tumors may be either cystic or solid, and the cystic variety, composed mostly of epidermoid cysts, has occurred with slightly greater frequency. The most common primary solid tumor is the hemangioma (hamartoma) and the majority of these have been described as incidental autopsy findings. Most splenic hemangiomas are discovered incidentally, and their clinical importance generally lies in differentiating them from other conditions. Occasionally, they may be associated with splenomegaly, abdominal pain, dyspnea, diarrhea or constipation, anemia, thrombocytopenia and with larger lesions which spontaneously rupture. Although hemangioma is a very common benign lesion in the body, a huge and mixed splenic trype hemangioma is very rare.here we report a case of 50 yr female presented with lump in abdomen turned out to be splenic hemangioma. Splenunculi are single or multiple accessory spleens that are found in approximately 10–30% of the population.so primary splenic hemangioma with occurance of speninculi is rare finding.
