A CASE REPORT ON SPLENIC HEMANGIOMATOSIS
Abstract
Abstract : The most common primary tumours of the spleen
are benign and originate from the vascular endothelium.
Haemangioma is the most common primary benign neoplasm
of spleen and usually represents as a small ,localized
tumour. Cavernous haemangioma is a rare disorder of the
spleen with fewer than 100 cases reported in literature This
condition may occur together with haemangiomatosis of the
liver or it may occur as a manifestation of systemic
angiomatosis, or less commonly, is confined to the spleen.
We present a patient with moderate splenomegaly caused by
splenic haemangiomatosis. The patient had no clinical disorders
resulting from the splenic vascular tumour.
