Spleen hemangiomatosis is the most common type of benign vascular tumor, and it is usually associated with other visceral localizations such as the liver, lymph nodes, skin, and bone marrow.

Sumario: | Spleen hemangiomatosis is the most common type of benign vascular tumor, and it is usually associated with other visceral localizations such as the liver, lymph nodes, skin, and bone marrow. The diffuse form of this condition is defined by the number of locations in one organ. We report the case of a 48-year-old female who sought consultation for left hypochondrium chronic pain. Physical examination subsequently revealed splenomegaly. Imaging showed a diffuse capillary spleen hemangiomatosis, hepatic dysmorphia, and several signs of portal hypertension. |
