| Lymphangioma of the spleen is an extremely rare disease in adults, and performing splenectomy
has been considered necessary for its diagnosis and treatment, but the diagnosis of an isolated
splenic mass lesion without performing splenectomy is a challenging problem. Herein, we report
on a case of multiple splenic lymphangiomas that were found incidentally in a 56-year-old female;
these lesions were diagnosed by percutaneous splenic biopsy without splenectomy. We suggest
that this approach is a reasonable option for benign looking-appearing splenic tumors because splenectomy
and its postsplenectomy complications can be avoided. |
