LITTORAL CELL ANGIOMA OF THE SPLEEN

Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare benign vascular tumor of the spl een. LCA most commonly presents with constitutional symptoms (low grad e fever and fatigue) and signs of hypersplenism (anemia and thrombocyt openia), Radiographically and at gross pathology an enlarged spleen co ntaining multiple nodules is most commonly seen. Currently the radiolo gical findings are nonspecific and correlation with clinical findings is necessary to narrow the differential while tissue is required for a definitive diagnosis.
