Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare benign vascular tumor of the spleen with characteristic histomorphologic features. It is a unique splenic tumor which may present with abdominal pain or as an incidental finding.
In this case report, we present the case of a 34-year-old woman with multiple splenic LCA. Initially, the patient presented with abdominal pain, weakness and fatigue. After a diagnostic abdominal ultrasound, multiple hemangiomas were observed in the spleen. Computed tomography scans confirmed splenomegaly with multiple round and hyperdense lesions. The patient subsequently underwent splenectomy. Postoperative histological and immunohistochemical profiles confirmed the diagnosis of LCA.
LCA is a unique splenic tumor diagnosed in patients with abdominal pain or as an incidental finding. Only a few case reports of this tumor have been published, and those accounts are inconsistent. In the present paper, we report on a case and conduct a literature review.
沿岸细胞血管瘤(LCA)是一种罕见的脾脏良性血管肿瘤,具有特征性组织形态学特征。它是一种独特的脾脏肿瘤,可能表现为腹痛或偶然发现。
在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一名患有多发性脾脏LCA的34岁女性病例。最初,患者表现为腹痛、虚弱和疲劳。经腹部诊断性超声检查后,在脾脏中观察到多个血管瘤。计算机断层扫描证实脾脏肿大,伴有多个圆形高密度病变。患者随后接受了脾切除术。术后组织学和免疫组化结果证实了LCA的诊断。
LCA是一种独特的脾脏肿瘤,在腹痛患者中诊断或偶然发现。关于这种肿瘤的病例报告仅有少数发表,且这些报告并不一致。在本文中,我们报告了一例病例并进行了文献综述。
