[Splenic hemangiosarcoma]

The authors present a case of splenic hemangiosarcoma which was encounter-a group including some 600 splenectomies. Hemangiosarcomas represent only 3% of all malignant splenic tumours. This clinical observation is of particular interest because of the extreme rarity of such cases. It is also interesting because of the conditions which have determined the intervention, as well as by the prolonged survival of the patient.
