Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation was first described as a solitary angioma-like disease of the spleen by Martel et al. in 2004. It is a relatively new rare benign lesion. The authors present a clinical case of an asymptomatic, 48-year-old female. SANT has been an incidental finding in an abdominal ultrasound. Histological appearance and the immunohistochemical staining after spleen biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. As suggested in previously published articles, a splenectomy was performed for definitive treatment. This case contributes to the differential diagnosis of splenic tumors, its treatment and clinical impact.
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.
