A littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a primary vascular tumor of the spleen, that can have malignant potential and may present association with other malignancies. This is a case of LCA that was discovered incidentally in a 79-year-old woman who presented with a polycythemia at the time of consultation. The neoplasm was evaluated by ultrasound and computed tomography. The patient underwent a splenectomy that revealed LCA by pathological evaluation. The post-operative outcome was favorable with no complications or recurrent disease. This case presentation, clinical, radiographic, and pathological features of an uncommon splenic tumor can be studied in order to advance our knowledge in our understanding of LCA.
脾沿岸细胞血管瘤(LCA)是脾脏的一种原发性血管肿瘤,具有恶变潜能,可能与其他恶性肿瘤相关。本文报告1例LCA,该病例是在一名79岁女性患者就诊时偶然发现的,该患者当时表现为红细胞增多症。通过超声和计算机断层扫描对该肿瘤进行了评估。患者接受了脾切除术,病理评估显示为LCA。术后结果良好,无并发症或疾病复发。通过研究该罕见脾脏肿瘤的病例报告、临床、影像学和病理特征,可增进我们对LCA的认识。
