Inflammatory pseudotumors of the spleen are exceptionally rare in pediatric patients. This case highlights the importance of considering these rare splenic masses in children

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Splenic inflammatory pseudotumors (SIPTs) are rare entities, with limited pediatric case reports.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management of splenic lesions in children.

Observation:

  • A 6-year-old girl presented with an incidentally discovered splenic mass during evaluation for vesicoureteral reflux disease.
  • The pseudotumor exhibited unique clinical, pathological, and immunophenotypic characteristics.

Findings:

  • Detailed analysis of the case included clinical presentation, histopathology, immunophenotyping, and molecular features.
  • Differential diagnostic considerations for splenic masses in pediatric patients were discussed.

Implications:

  • This report expands the literature on rare pediatric splenic inflammatory pseudotumors.
