Littoral Cell Angioma of Spleen: A rare case report.

Project description:IntroductionSpleen's Littoral Cell Angioma is a rare benign vascular tumor. The main clinical presentation is isolated splenomegaly.Case presentationwe present the case of a 37 years old male patient who suffers from chronic pain in the left hypochondrium.The abdominal examination finds a painful splenomegaly related to a biological bicytopenia. The CT Scan shows a 32 cm splenomegaly.An exploratory laparotomy with splenectomy was performed. The histological and immunohistochemical study confirmed The final diagnosis of Littoral Cell Angioma.Clinical discussionIsolated splenomegaly of unknown etiology is the main clinical sign. Splenectomy is required for a diagnostic purpose and substratum for histological study.ConclusionLittoral Cell Angioma of the Spleen is a rare benign vascular tumor, however it should be highlighted by clinical and radiological features, the definitive diagnosis is made upon histological study.

Littoral cell angioma of a huge spleen with peripheral blood pancytopenia in a 14-year-old boy: a case report and review of the literature.

Project description:BackgroundSplenic littoral cell angioma (LCA) is an exceptionally uncommon malignant potential vascular tumor with infrequent occurrences in pediatric patients. Due to its reliance on histopathological analysis for diagnosis, LCA may be mistakenly identified as other splenic tumors. Patients with LCA may experience anemia or thrombocytopenia, but peripheral blood pancytopenia is infrequent.Case reportA 14-year-old boy presented with peripheral blood pancytopenia, necessitating hospitalization after splenomegaly was identified during a physical examination. Following the exclusion of hematological disorders, a splenectomy was conducted; histopathological examination confirmed the diagnoses of LCA. No metastases or recurrences were observed during the 8-month follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, this case represents the first instance of LCA associated with pancytopenia in a pediatric patient.ConclusionLCA can lead to iron-deficiency anemia or thrombocytopenia, with rare occurrences of pancytopenia, potentially resulting in misdiagnosis as a hematological disorder. Surgical intervention remains an effective treatment for LCA.

Clinical Landscape of Littoral Cell Angioma in the Spleen Based on a Comprehensive Analysis.

Project description:ObjectiveLittoral cell angioma (LCA) is currently considered to be a rare splenic tumor with malignant potential. As the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, treatment, and prognosis remain unclear, the clinical diagnosis and treatment of LCA have not been standardized. Hence, we performed a comprehensive analysis of 189 observational studies comprising 435 patients to improve the current status of diagnosis and treatment.MethodsPubMed, Embase, WanFang and CNKI were searched from inception to May 2021 to identify LCA studies that were published in English and Chinese. The clinical information of LCA patients were extracted and analyzed.ResultsThe LCA has a male-to-female ratio of 0.90 and a solitary-to-multiple ratio of 0.31. In terms of clinical features, 69.7% of the patients showed splenomegaly, 49.7% were asymptomatic, and 39.2% experienced epigastric discomfort. As the imaging findings of patients with LCA were nonspecific, an image-guided biopsy (10/12) was a safe and effective method for diagnosing in this condition. Notably, results of the prognostic analysis indicated that LCA has a lower risk of recurrence and metastasis. The patient may develop a stable disease or the tumor will grow but will not metastasize. Besides, the novel immunohistochemical pattern of LCA was described as CD31+/ERG+/FVIII Antigen+/CD68+/CD163+/lysozyme+/CD8-/WT1-.ConclusionLCA should be reconsidered as a benign primary splenic vascular neoplasm, which is more like an intra-splenic manifestation of abnormal body function. Image-guided biopsy with follow-up might be a beneficial choice for LCA patients. For LCA patients with abdominal discomfort, pathological uncertainty or continuous tumor enlargement, splenectomy remains the preferred treatment.

Multimodality Imaging Findings in Cardiac Plasmacytoma.

Project description:Extramedullary plasmacytoma involving the heart is a rare occurrence. We present the case of a 74-year-old man who received a diagnosis of cardiac plasmacytoma in the context of relapsed multiple myeloma. The tumor primarily presented as a solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma with extensive infiltration into the right ventricle, leading to mild symptoms such as dyspnea. There was no evidence of systemic involvement. A treatment with DRd (daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone) was promptly initiated. This case demonstrates the effective use of multimodal imaging techniques to characterize cardiac masses and to determine the most appropriate management plan.
