Hemangiosarcoma of the spleen is a rare malignant tumor. Prognosis is poor and is usually related to splenic rupture. Clinical symptoms include abdominal pain and left upper quadrant mass. Many clinical conditions have similar presenting symptoms and make diagnosis difficult. However, in this case report, we describe characteristic contrast enhancement pattern with spiral CT imaging of hemangiosarcoma of the spleen. Such imaging features with the previously described clinical symptoms will help in making the diagnosis early. Early splenectomy will improve prognosis and survival.
脾脏血管肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤。预后较差，通常与脾破裂有关。临床症状包括腹痛和左上腹肿块。许多临床情况具有相似的表现症状，导致诊断困难。然而，在本病例报告中，我们描述了脾脏血管肉瘤螺旋CT成像的特征性对比增强模式。这种影像学特征结合先前描述的临床症状将有助于早期诊断。早期脾切除术将改善预后和生存率。
