Biography

Spleen tumors are an uncommon disease. Littoral cell angioma belongs to the group of vascular tumors. It is believed that this tumor originates from the tissue of the red pulp sinuses, specifically from the cells that are lining the sinuses. If this rare tumor is diagnosed, it is necessary to search for synchronous or metachronous visceral neoplasia. Littoral cell angioma can also mimic metastatic lesion of the spleen. This case report wants to draw attention on this rare tumor of the spleen which is very often associated with other visceral malignancy.
