Abstract EN
Introduction.
Splenic hematomas usually occur after blunt abdominal trauma.
Most of the subcapsular hematomas will be resolved and reabsorbed spontaneously.
However in rare cases, some of them organize and form calcified splenic masses.
Angiosarcoma is an uncommon primary tumor of the spleen.
Splenic angiosarcoma behaves extremely aggressive and has poor prognosis.
Case Presentation.
We report a forty-nine-year-old white male with organized splenic hematoma due to traffic accident mimicking splenic angiosarcoma.
Conclusion.
Both angiosarcoma and splenic organized hematoma have nonspecific symptoms and clinical findings.
Because of the risk of hemorrhage and rupture, fine-needle biopsy should not be preferred.
In case of splenic masses, excision and spleen-conserving surgery or total splenectomy should be performed.
