Primary Splenic Vascular Lesions: A Clinicopathologic, Immunophenotypic and Radiopathologic Correlation Study of 40 Cases

[A case of splenic hamartoma diagnosed by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging]

Splenic hamartoma is a very rare benign tumor, which is usually found incidentally after splenectomy or autopsy. Although percutaneous needle biopsy can be performed, it carries a high risk of bleeding after the procedure. Therefore, diagnosis is usually made by surgical resection. Herein, we report a case of splenic hamartoma diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, which enables visualization of the unique signals of microbubbles in the vessels in real time. Relevant literature is also reviewed.
