ABSTRACT
Littoral- cell angioma [LCA] is a rare vascular tumor of the spleen. It was thought to be a benign, incidental lesion. However, many recent reports have described it to be a malignant lesion with congenital and immunologic associations. We report a case of LCA of the spleen, which has been infrequently communicated in the literature. A 41-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with a three-week history of weakness, weight loss, anorexia, and intermittent upper abdominal pain which improved slightly with antacid medication.Imaging studies, including computed tomography [CT] and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], showed multiple lesions in the spleen. Laparoscopic splenectomy was performed
