Abstract
Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare primary splenic vascular tumor arising from the littoral cells that line the splenic sinuses of the red pulp. Definitive diagnosis of this entity depends on histology and immunochemical studies, for which splenectomy is usually performed. We present three image-guided percutaneous core biopsy proven cases of splenic LCA and also discuss imaging features of these rare tumors on CT, MR, and US findings.Entities:
