Background:
Vascular tumors of spleen represent a wide spectrum of lesions, ranging from benign to highly aggressive neoplasms. Among the benign tumors, localized hemangiomas are the most frequently encountered. Splenic hemangiomatosis is seldom seen especially in the pediatric population with anecdotal cases described in the literature.
Case Report:
We present of 6-month-old child presenting with abdominal distention. The resected spleen was totally replaced with a hemangiomatous lesion. There were no other hemangiomatous foci outside the spleen.
Conclusions:
Hemangiomatosis limited to the spleen can occur in a child, and the present case demonstrates its characteristic histological features.
