Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of the spleen associated with thrombocytopenia

摘要

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of the spleen, a recently described lesion of unknown pathogenesis, with a benign clinical course that is very often asymptomatic. Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation may be a novo lesion or the final common pathway of various benign splenic conditions such as hamartoma, inflammatory pseudotumor and hemangioma. We report the case of a 68 year-old woman with thrombocytopenia and a splenic mass, diagnosed as sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation.
