Abstract

Sclerosing angiomatoid vascular transformation (SANT) is a rare vascular disease of the spleen, which is difficult to diagnose due to its pre-intervention appearance of malignancy. Case Report: An 85-year-old male was transferred to our clinic for thrombocytopenia and splenic mass. A contrast enhanced abdominal CT and MRI showed nodular lesions, the largest 50mm in diameter, and several areas of heterogeneous contrast field involvement in the spleen parenchyma. Laparoscopic splenectomy was performed with normal range of platelet level. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged on the 6th postoperative day. Histopathology revealed SANT. The patient is now in the 18 th month of remission with platelet levels within normal range and with no recurrence. Between 2004 and April 2020, a total of 230 SANT patients who underwent laparoscopic or open splenectomy or biopsy were reported in the literature. Most patients were female (52.1%), and the median age was 46 years (9 weeks-85 years). Most patients were asymptomatic (56%). Open splenectomy was performed on 166 patients (72.1%),laparoscopic splenectomy on 35 patients (15.2%) and laparoscopic partial splenectomy on 15 patients (6.5%). The median operation...Continue Reading
