Multi-Focal Splenic Tumour in a Belgian Patient and a Brief Review of the Literature on Littoral Cell Angioma.

Abstract

Littoral cell tumour, although a very rare neoplasm, must be included in the differential diagnosis of splenic lesions observed by imaging.As imaging cannot differentiate between benign and malignant lesions, a definitive diagnosis is made only by histopathology and immunohistochemistry.Individuals diagnosed with littoral cell angioma must be carefully evaluated to exclude associated primary, secondary and synchronous malignancies as well as accompanying inflammatory/autoimmune disease.
