Splenic Hamartoma in a Teenage: A Rare Case Report
Main Article Content
Abstract
Splenic hamartoma is a rare, benign vascular proliferation that is often found incidentally while working up for other complaints or at autopsy. Women more commonly present with symptoms related to mass effect than man. Although rendering a diagnosis can be difficult, endothelial cells that are positive for CD8 are a key feature that differentiate hamartoma from other vascular lesions of the spleen. Clinical, radiologic, and histologic correlation is essential to ensure this benign lesion is not mistaken for malignancy. In our case, a teenage was diagnosed with splenic hamartoma.
