Laparoscopic Splenectomy for Splenic Hamartoma : A Case Report

الملخص EN

Hamartoma is a rare splenic benign tumor usually accidentally detected as a radiologic finding.

Preoperative diagnosis poses a challenge and thus surgery becomes necessary to confirm the clinical suspicion.

Laparoscopic splenectomy has gained consensus as a standard surgical procedure particularly for autoimmune hematological diseases.

This former experience has allowed this technique to be extended to other splenic pathologies.

Here we report a case of total laparoscopic splenectomy for a bulky splenic hamartoma in a young male patient.
