“…Imaging most often shows an enlarged spleen with multiple nodules. Abdominal US by using a 5-MHz probe shows a lobulated splenomegaly of heterogeneous echogenicity without acoustic enhancement [8,23,24]. With a 7.5-MHz probe, multiple nodules are seen that are isoechogenic with the splenic parenchyma, some of them have anechoic areas inside.…”

Primary spleen neoplasms are rare diseases. Most often we find a tumorous involvement of splenic parenchyma as an accidental finding but sometimes it is a spontaneous spleen rupture. Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a unique benign vascular neoplasm of splenic sinus-lining cells with unknown aetiology. LCA has no soft tissue counterpart. Patients with LCA has no age and sex predilection. In 1991, Stephen Falk and his colleagues first described LCA. Since then, according to the literature, 204 publications have appeared in the last 33 years. This article presents a short review of littoral cell angioma and a Hungarian case report. In Hungary our case is the first and the only.

Littoral cell angioma of the spleen: a study of 25 cases with confirmation of frequent association with visceral malignancies

et al. 2016

The cohort of 25 patients is the largest series of LCAs published to date. By using antibodies against recently introduced endothelial markers, we have expanded the immunoprofile of LCA. We have further highlighted the clinical significance of LCA, as more than half of the patients in this study also harboured a coexisting visceral malignancy. Therefore, we conclude that the finding of splenic LCA mandates a thorough clinical evaluation for a concomitant malignancy.
