Abstract
Primary splenic neoplasms are rare and among these neoplasms are littoral cell angiomas (LCA). LCAs are benign vascular tumors arising from the littoral cells lining the splenic red pulp sinuses. LCAs are most often identified incidentally, although patients may present with hypersplenism such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, and splenomegaly. The incidence is found to be equal in both males and females and most reported cases are in middle aged adults. Most cases of LCA described in the literature have been composed of multiple lesions of varying size in the spleen. The pathogenesis of LCA is unknown; however the neoplasm is associated with immunological disorders and malignancies. We report a case of a patient diagnosed with a LCA of the spleen in association with metastatic abdominal leiomyosarcoma, along with a literature review.
