A Rare Case of Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation of the Spleen Managed with Laparoscopic Splenectomy
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a rare, benign splenic lesion characterized by distinct histopathological and immunohistochemical features. It often presents as an incidental finding but can occasionally cause symptoms. Imaging studies like contrast-enhanced CT scans can suggest a diagnosis, but definitive confirmation requires histopathology. Surgical management via laparoscopic splenectomy offers excellent outcomes, with low morbidity and rapid recovery. We present the case of a 22-year-old female with a symptomatic SANT lesion, successfully treated with laparoscopic splenectomy. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient remains asymptomatic on follow-up.
