A rare case of sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of the spleen – a case report

Abstract

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a benign vascular lesion arising in the spleen. Although this lesion has characteristic radiological findings on both computerised tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, it may pose a difficulty in distinguishing this rare benign entity from other lesions of the spleen both clinically and radiologically. We report a case of 46-year-old man with a splenic soft tissue lesion found incidentally on ultrasonography of the abdomen.
