Case Study of Isolated Littoral Cell Angioma of the Spleen in a Pediatric Patient

1

A 9-year-old male was diagnosed with isolated splenic littoral cell angioma (LCA) after an incidental finding during a physical examination.
2

The child exhibited no specific symptoms, with only a slightly elevated platelet count and normal results from other laboratory tests.
3

CT imaging revealed a round hypodense mass in the spleen, showing characteristic 'fireball-like' enhancement during the arterial phase.
4

Laparoscopic partial splenectomy confirmed the diagnosis of LCA through pathological examination and immunohistochemistry.
5

Postoperative follow-up at 3 and 6 months showed no recurrence or complications, indicating a favorable prognosis after surgical resection.
