  • Title: Littoral cell angioma of the spleen.
    Author: Grantham M, Einstein D, McCarron K, Lichtin A, Vogt D.
    Journal: Abdom Imaging; 1998; 23(6):633-5. PubMed ID: 9922200.
    Abstract:
    Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare benign vascular tumor of the spleen. LCA most commonly presents with constitutional symptoms (low grade fever and fatigue) and signs of hypersplenism (anemia and thrombocytopenia). Radiographically and at gross pathology an enlarged spleen containing multiple nodules is most commonly seen. Currently the radiological findings are nonspecific and correlation with clinical findings is necessary to narrow the differential while tissue is required for a definitive diagnosis.
