This case report details a rare splenic hamartoma, a complex vascular spleen lesion. The findings suggest it may represent Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation (SANT) of the spleen.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Vascular Lesions
  • Spleen Imaging

Background:

  • Splenic hamartomas are rare, complex vascular lesions with ongoing classification debates.
  • Recent reinterpretations highlight confusion regarding definition and histogenesis.

Observation:

  • A young woman presented with an incidentally discovered splenic nodule on ultrasound.
  • Pathological examination revealed a large, well-demarcated splenic mass (10 cm).
  • Histology showed an angiomatoid lobular-nodular pattern with fibrosclerotic stroma and calcification.

Findings:

  • Immunohistochemistry identified diverse vascular structures: capillaries, splenic venous sinuses, and small veins.
  • The complex vascular profile supports a diagnosis of splenic hamartoma with a lobular-nodular pattern.

  • This presentation aligns with Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation (SANT) of the spleen.

    • Implications:

    • Understanding the varied morphology of splenic hamartomas is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • Distinguishing splenic hamartoma from other splenic lesions like hemangiomas and inflammatory pseudotumors is important.
    • This case contributes to the spectrum of splenic vascular lesions and their classification.
