Abstract
We experienced a case of splenic hamartoma associated with hepatic hemangioma and ovarian dermoid cyst. Splenic hamartoma is very rare and only 38 cases included this case can be seen in Japan. This paper describes this case with review of the literature.
A 56-year-old female was seen at the hospital because of a fever and was diagnosed as having a splenic tumor, hepatic hemangioma and right ovarian dermoid cyst. Splenectomy and right oophorectomy were performed because the splenic tumor could not be denied malignant involvement. The resected spleen was 120 g in weight and 12×8×7 cm in dimension. In lower pole of the spleen there was a dark-red colored tumor (7×7 cm in size) with clear boundary, and it was diagnosed as red pulp typed hamartoma histologically. The resected ovary was 10×7×6 cm in dimension which included hair follicles, sebaceous glands, fatty tissue and so on. It was histologically diagnosed as dermoid cyst.
