Abstract
Littoral cell angioma is a non-hematologic vascular neoplasm originating from littoral cells lining the splenic red pulp. The diagnosis is usually made incidentally in splenectomy materials. It is often associated with anemia and thrombocytopenia, indicative of hypersplenism. We, herein present a case of symptomatic littoral cell angioma in a 32-year female, presumed to be accompanied by a hematologic malignancy manifesting with splenic infarct and thrombocytosis. Key Words: Littoral cell angioma, Splenic infarct, Thrombocytosis.
