SPLENIC SCLEROSING ANGIOMATOID NODULAR TRANSFORMATION - A CASE REPORT

JEEVARATHY THANGAMALAI

Abstract


Splenic Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular
transformation (SANT) is a rare nonneoplastic
proliferative vascular lesion
arising from red pulp of spleen with unknown
etiology. Few pediatric cases
were reported in literature. A five year old
boy presented with vague abdominal
pain and was diagnosed with a solid
mass near splenic hilum on imaging.
However, organ of origin was not clearly
made out. He underwent a diagnostic
laparoscopy, which showed a Splenic
mass which was completely excised
along with the spleen.
