Abstract:
We present the case of an 8-year-old boy accidentally diagnosed of a splenic tumor by ultrasound and computed tomography scan of the abdomen. The patient was treated surgically with a conservative surgical technique (wedge resection and splenorraphy). The histologic study revealed a hamartoma and by immunohistologic study a clear differentiation with the splenic capillary hemangioma could be made.
