Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare, benign primary vascular neoplasm of the spleen. The tumor originates from the littoral cells lining the sinuses of the red pulp of the spleen. Preoperative distinction of this tumor from other benign or malign splenic lesions is difficult. Radiologically most cases present as multiple nodules. Definitive diagnosis can only be made histopathologically and immunohistochemically following splenectomy. This clinical situation can coexist with various malignancies and autoimmune disorders. Even though, it is mostly benign, since it has the potential to become malignant after splenectomy, long-term follow-up is required. We present an LCA case, which appeared as a solitary mass in the spleen of an 11-year-old girl with abdominal pain admitted to our hospital.
脾窦岸细胞血管瘤（LCA）是一种罕见的脾脏原发性良性血管肿瘤。该肿瘤起源于脾红髓血窦内衬的岸细胞。术前将此肿瘤与其他良性或恶性脾脏病变区分开来很困难。在放射学上，大多数病例表现为多发结节。只有在脾切除术后通过组织病理学和免疫组织化学检查才能做出明确诊断。这种临床情况可与各种恶性肿瘤和自身免疫性疾病共存。尽管它大多是良性的，但由于脾切除术后有恶变的可能，因此需要长期随访。我们报告一例LCA病例，该病例表现为一名因腹痛入院的11岁女孩脾脏中的孤立肿块。
