Splenic hamartoma (or splenoma) is a rare, benign, vascular tumor, often incidentally found at imaging, surgery or autopsy. It is usually asymptomatic. We report a case of 53 yrs old female from Tumkur city which was incidentally found during evaluation for GERD who had a large (9*10*10) splenic mass with small cystic /necrotic areas arising from lower pole of spleen, moderate heterogeneous enhancement on post contrast study, histologically congested sinusoids along with white pulp comprised of lymphoid follicles and immunohistochemically positive for antibodies to T-and B-cells and immunoglobulin light chains, CD 34 and Factor 8.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
