title: Littoral-cell angioma as a rare cause of splenomegaly.
abstract: We report the case of a littoral-cell angioma of the spleen, a recently described benign vascular tumour, whose imaging and pathological characteristics have been discussed only by a few authors. The diagnosis was made after elective splenectomy. The CT images, scintigraphy and histological specimens are presented, and differential diagnoses discussed.
