Splenic hamartomas are rare, benign tumors often found incidentally. This case highlights a symptomatic presentation in a 39-year-old male, successfully treated with splenectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Pathology
  • Abdominal Imaging
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Splenic hamartomas are rare, slow-growing benign tumors, often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally.
  • Their incidence in the general population is very low, estimated at 0.001%.

Observation:

  • A 39-year-old male presented with pyrosis and upper abdominal pain.
  • Imaging revealed multiple splenic lesions, including a large bilobulated mass (12x10x9 cm).

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of splenic hamartoma.
  • The patient underwent successful laparoscopic splenectomy with an uncomplicated recovery.

Implications:

  • Splenic hamartomas, though rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of splenic tumors, especially when symptomatic.
