Abstract:
Littoral cell angioma is a benign vascular tumour of the spleen, and malign transformation is seldom. The angioma is associated with a high risk of simultaneous occurrence of other primary cancers, and it is of utmost importance to perform extensive diagnostic investigations to detect other cancers. Definitive treatment of littoral cell angioma is surgical resection of the spleen. This is a unique case report about a 73-year-old woman who had a simultaneous adenocarcinoma of the colon and a gastrointestinal stromal tumour. She underwent simultaneous splenectomy with colonic and gastric resection.
