    Author: Kato M, Lubitz C, Finley D, Chadburn A, Fahey TJ.
    Journal: Am J Hematol; 2006 Jul; 81(7):538-42. PubMed ID: 16755574.
    Abstract:
    A 59-year-old female presented with isolated anemia and a splenic mass. Standard histology and immunohistochemical techniques categorized the splenic lesion as a cord capillary hemangioma. The patient's anemia resolved following splenectomy. Cord capillary hemangiomas are exceedingly rare with few reports in the literature. This is the first reported case of resolution of anemia after splenectomy for a vascular tumor of the spleen.
