Abstract:
Splenic hamartoma (or splenoma) is a rare, benign, vascular tumor, often incidentally found at imaging, surgery or autopsy. It is usually asymptomatic. We report a case of 53 yrs old female from Tumkur city which was incidentally found during evaluation for GERD who had a large (9*10*10) splenic mass with small cystic /necrotic areas arising from lower pole of spleen, moderate heterogeneous enhancement on post contrast study, histologically congested sinusoids along with white pulp comprised of lymphoid follicles and immunohistochemically positive for antibodies to T- and B-cells and immunoglobulin light chains, CD 34 and Factor 8.
