Summary
Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare splenic vascular lesion. This case report details a solitary LCA discovered post-splenectomy, contributing to understanding its behavior.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Pathology
- Spleen Histopathology
Background:
- Primary splenic lesions are uncommon.
- Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare vascular neoplasm unique to the spleen.
Observation:
- A solitary LCA was incidentally discovered.
- The lesion was found after splenectomy for an unrelated splenic finding.
Findings:
- LCA is typically benign but malignant variants exist.
- This case adds to the pathological series of LCA.
Implications:
- Further research into LCA behavior is warranted.
- Understanding LCA is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient management.
