Cavernous haemangioma of the spleen. A case report

Splenic cavernous haemangioma is a rare cause of splenomegaly. It is a benign tumour which has seldom been diagnosed pre-operatively, because the clinical presentation is usually atypical. This is reflected in a patient who presented with splenomegaly, and in whom cavernous haemangioma of the spleen was diagnosed only after operation.
