[Hemangioma of the spleen. A case report].
We report a case of hemangioma of the spleen in an 18-old-years female patient. Clinical presentation was abdominal pain in the left upper quadrant. Physical examination founding was normal. The hemangioma was presented as hyperechogenic mass on ultra sound imaging. On the computed tomography scan with contrast it became progressively hyperdense. Splenectomy is often indicated because of the risk of rupture and the doubt about malignant form in histological examination.
