An 11-year-old girl with low-grade fever, night sweats, thrombocytopenia, and an 8-year history of progressive splenomegaly underwent an elective splenectomy. Pathologic diagnosis was multiple splenic hamartoma. The patient’s symptoms resolved after the splenectomy. Since first described by Rokitansky in 1861, ;140 cases of splenic hamartoma have been described in the literature. Most of the sp...

Hamartoma is a rare splenic benign tumor usually accidentally detected as a radiologic finding. Preoperative diagnosis poses a challenge and thus surgery becomes necessary to confirm the clinical suspicion. Laparoscopic splenectomy has gained consensus as a standard surgical procedure particularly for autoimmune hematological diseases. This former experience has allowed this technique to be ext...

AIM To assess CT and MR manifestations and their diagnostic value in splenic hamartoma with review of literatures. METHODS We described a woman who was accidentally found to have a splenic tumor by ultrasound of the abdomen. CT and MR findings of this splenic hamartoma were proved by pathology retrospectively. RESULTS The CT and MR findings in this case included a ball-like mass with homoge...
