ABSTRACT
Splenic hamartomas are rare benign tumors, which are usually small in size and asymptomatic and which are discovered incidentally at surgery or autopsy. The authors report on a case of splenic hamar toma in a 35-year-old man with intermittent left upper quardrant pain, who underwent an elective splenc tomy. Final pathology confirmed diagnosis of a hamartoma of the red pulp in the spleen. The patient's symptoms were resolved after the splenectomy. A splenic hamartoma should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of splenic tumors. The authors suggest that a splenectomy is indicated in cases where malignancy cannot be excluded and in cases of associated clinical symptoms or hematologic disorders.
