Most splenic tumors are benign vascular growths. Pathological diagnosis is crucial for differentiating benign from malignant spleen tumors, guiding treatment decisions and avoiding unnecessary surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Splenic tumors are incidentally discovered via imaging or physical exams.
  • Most splenic tumors are benign and vascular in origin.
  • Accurate diagnosis is essential to prevent overtreatment of benign conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To differentiate clinicopathological features and imaging presentations of benign and malignant spleen tumors.
  • To establish diagnostic guidelines for splenic lesions.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of minimally invasive biopsy techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 44 cases of primary or metastatic splenic tumors.
  • Histopathological examination of surgical specimens and biopsies.
  • Correlation of imaging findings with pathological diagnoses.

Main Results:

  • 32 benign tumors (predominantly hemangiomas, lymphangiomas) and 12 malignant tumors (including angiosarcomas, lymphomas, metastases) were identified.
  • Imaging studies showed non-specific features, insufficient for differential diagnosis.
  • Fine needle aspiration biopsy guided by CT or ultrasound proved safe and effective.

Conclusions:

  • Pathological examination is indispensable for definitive spleen tumor diagnosis.
  • Minimally invasive biopsy is recommended for accurate diagnosis.
  • Splenectomy is reserved for malignant cases or complicated benign tumors.
