Introduction
Splenic tumors are rare. They include benign primary tumors, such as
lymphangioma and hemangioma, and malignant primary tumors, such as
malignant lymphoma and angioblastoma. Also, solid cancers, such as
gastric, colon, and ovarian cancer sometimes metastasize to the spleen.
In 2013, Heller suggested a diagnostic and follow-up strategy for
splenic tumors as shown in Figure 1 (1); however, it is currently not
easy to differentiate between the various histological types of splenic
tumors and choose an appropriate treatment plan. Herein, we report two
cases of splenic hemangioma with different imaging findings. The tumors
mimicked malignant tumors, which led us to perform laparoscopic
splenectomy.
