Abstract:
Littoral cell angioma is a recently described rare vascular tumor of the spleen. The clinical course of this benign tumor is asymptomatic in most patients. Herein, we described three patients with littoral cell angioma detected during physical examination. A brief discussion and review of a handful of cases of splenic littoral cell angioma, which have been previously reported in the English language literature, are performed in this paper.
