We present a case of a healthy 7-year-old female with an incidental finding of a growing splenic lesion, diagnosed as a splenic hamartoma after splenectomy. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of splenic lesions and that the role of positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET/CT) in defining splenic lesions in the pediatric population remains to be defined.
我们报告一例健康的7岁女性,偶然发现脾脏有一个不断增大的病变,脾切除术后诊断为脾错构瘤。该病例凸显了脾脏病变的诊断挑战,且正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)在明确儿科患者脾脏病变中的作用仍有待确定。
