Abstract:
Among liver vascular tumours, hepatic small vessel neoplasm (HSVN) has been recently identified as a rare infiltrative vascular neoplasm whose malignant potential is yet to be fully ascertained. About 30 cases of HSVN have been described so far. The most common clinical presentation is an asymptomatic solitary liver lesion. Multifocal disease has been described in literature; however, to date, there are no reports of disease dissemination to other organs. Here we report a case of multifocal HSVN with synchronous spleen secondary lesions.
