Detection of an asymptomatic non-palpable non-lymphomatous CD8+ splenic hamartoma
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Present case report relates to the incidental finding of a splenic hamartoma during a medical check-up. Later, splenectomy was done. Tumor measured 3.5×3×3 cms. Microscopic examination of tumor showed unencapsulated disorganized tortuous vascular spaces of variable width, lined by plump endothelial cells. Immunohistochemical (IHC) examination of lining endothelial cells with anti-CD8+ antibody revealed a positive reaction. Anti-CD8+ positivity suggested the tumor to be a splenic hamartoma. It is a rare benign tumor. Present tumor was arising from red pulp (type II splenic hamartoma).
