    Area of Science:

    • Pathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Splenic hamartomas are rare, benign tumors, often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally.
    • First described by Rokitansky in 1861, they are characterized by disorganized splenic tissue components.

    Observation:

    • A 73-year-old female presented with a calcified splenic mass.
    • Exploratory laparotomy and splenectomy were performed.
    • Histological examination revealed a splenic hamartoma with cystic degeneration and calcification.

    Findings:

    • The tumor exhibited both red pulp-like areas with plasma cells and hyalinized vessels, and white pulp-like areas predominantly composed of lymphocytes.
    • The splenic hamartoma showed secondary cystic degeneration and calcification of the cyst wall.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • This case contributes to the limited literature on splenic hamartomas, particularly in Japan, with this being the second reported case.
    • Understanding the clinicopathological features of splenic hamartomas is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of splenic neoplasms.
