An 11-year-old girl was referred to the authors' hospital with a complaint of growth retardation. Physical examination revealed splenomegaly. Laboratory examination revealed increased sedimentation rate. Her imaging studies showed a splenic mass. Splenectomy was performed and histopathological examination revealed sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen. The disease rarely affects children but it could cause growth retardation and increased sedimentation rate, mimicking the chronic inflammatory diseases.
一名11岁女孩因生长发育迟缓被转诊至作者所在医院。体格检查发现脾肿大。实验室检查显示血沉加快。影像学检查显示脾脏有肿块。进行了脾切除术，组织病理学检查显示脾脏为硬化性血管瘤样结节性转化（SANT）。该病很少影响儿童，但可导致生长发育迟缓以及血沉加快，类似于慢性炎症性疾病。
