Summary

Splenic hamartoma, a rare tumor, was incidentally found in an asymptomatic man. Atypical imaging features, including ultrasound and MRI findings, led to surgical removal and a fibrous hamartoma diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Splenic hamartomas are rare primary splenic tumors, often discovered incidentally.
  • This report details a case of a 7 cm splenic hamartoma in an asymptomatic male patient.

Observation:

  • Ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic mass with posterior acoustic shadowing and minimal vascularity on Doppler.
  • MRI demonstrated hyperintensity on T1-weighted and hypointensity on T2-weighted images.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed a fibrous type of splenic hamartoma.
  • Atypical imaging characteristics were likely due to the tumor's fibrous component.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of histopathology for definitive diagnosis of splenic tumors.
