Isolated splenic metastasis arising from colorectal carcinoma is very rare and there has been only 6 cases reported in the English literature. A new case is esented, and its possible pathogenesis was considered with previously reported ses. A 65-year-old male patient had received a right hemicolectomy for cending colon cancer 36 months earlier. He was followed up regularly with rial measurement of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Rising serum CEA was scovered from 33 months postoperatively and CT revealed an isolated splenic tastasis. He therefore underwent splenectomy, which was proven to be a tastatic adenocarcinoma with similar histological feature to the original mor. As all reported cases showed elevated serum CEA at the time of tastasis, isolated splenic metastasis might be associated with CEA in regard its biological functions of immunosuppression and adhesion.

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen, a newly defined primary lesion of the spleen, is very rare. Immunohistochemistry is the only way to confirm the diagnosis of SANT. We present the clinical characteristics and postoperative outcomes of five SANT cases that underwent splenectomy from January 2007 to October 2010. Although SANT had specific imaging findings, differential diagnosis from other splenic tuomrs or malignant lesions preoperatively was difficult. The hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy was a useful and effective technique for the management and postoperative diagnosis of SANT. All SANT patients had good prognosis without recurrence after splenectomy.

A 54-year-old woman presented with a huge palpable mass on left upper quadrant of the abdomen. After preoperative work-up, a cystic disease of pancreatic tail or accessory spleen was initially suspected. We performed exploratory laparotomy and resected both the spleen and a 15 x 11 cm-sized huge cystic mass containing a part of solid component which extended continuously to the pancreatic tail. The solid component, comprising the upper portion of the resected cyst, was reddish brown and granular like as normal splenic tissue. The inner surface of the cyst was smooth and was filled with yellowish white material. Histologic examination showed an epidermoid cyst originating in the accessory spleen of the pancreatic tail lacking hair or skin appendages.

A littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare benign vascular tumor of the spleen. A 60-year-old man, with multiple nodules in imaging study and liver cirrhosis graded as Child-Pugh classification class A, was transferred for splenomegaly. A thrombocytopenia was found on hematological evaluation. Because there was no evidence of hematological and visceral malignancy, a splenectomy was performed for a definitive diagnosis. The histological and immunohistochemical features of the splenic specimens were consistent with a LCA. After the splenectomy, the thrombocytopenia recovered to the normal platelet count. There has been no previous report of a LCA combined with liver cirrhosis. Herein, the first case of a LCA in Korea, diagnosed and treated by a splenectomy, is reported.
