Splenic Hemangiomas

چکیده
ocal splenic lesions are rare, occurring with a frequency of about 0.2% on sonography.1 Hemangiomas are the most common primary benign neoplasms of the spleen, with prevalence ranging from 0.3% to 14% at autopsy.2–4 On gray scale sonography, a splenic hemangioma may show the typical appearance described for a liver hemangioma (a hyperechoic lesion with well-defined margins with or without posterior wall shadowing, usually without a vascular signal on color Doppler evaluation).4,5 Nevertheless, a splenic hemangioma may have an atypical sonographic aspect, making the right diagnosis difficult.5 Adele Taibbi, MD, Tommaso Vincenzo Bartolotta, MD, PhD, Domenica Matranga, MD, PhD, Massimo Midiri, MD, Roberto Lagalla, MD

Co-existence of a giant splenic hemangioma and multiple hepatic hemangiomas and the potential association with the use of oral contraceptives: a case report
INTRODUCTION Hepatic and splenic hemangiomas are common benign tumors that mainly affect female patients. Giant splenic hemangiomas are extremely rare, especially when correlated with multiple hepatic hemangiomas. Pathogenetic mechanisms between hemangiomas and oral contraceptives, as well as therapeutic approaches, are analyzed in this case report, in particular for the management of synchrono...

Tumors of spleen are rare. The most common benign tumor of spleen is hemangioma. Most splenic hemangiomas (SH) tend to be discovered in mid-30s to mid-50s. SH are discovered incidentally in most of the cases as they are usually asymptomatic. Small asymptomatic SH can be managed with observation. The treatment options for large hemangiomas are embolization of the splenic arterial branch, splenec...

We report a rare finding of the coexistence of splenic hemangioma and progressive vascular malformation of the left lower extremity in a child. The lesion on the left calf was described as a vascular malformation in computed tomography and magnetic resonance. At the age of one year, the abdominal Doppler ultrasound was normal. The examination was repeated at the age of six years due to recurren...
متن کاملSplenic littoral cell angioma with severe hypoproteinemia: a rare case report of 2 years follow-up
Splenic littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a comparatively rare vascular neoplasm of the spleen. LCA always presents with thrombocytopenia, fever, weight loss, and abdominal pain, and may also involve splenic rupture. To our knowledge, however, splenic LCA is rarely accompanied by severe hypoproteinemia. This report describes a 36-year-old woman with multiple splenic LCA, accompanied by severe hypo...
