The most common primary tumours of spleen are vascular in origin and are mostly benign. Littoral cell angioma is a rare primary splenic vascular tumour that arises from littoral cells lining the splenic red pulp sinuses. It is usually asymptomatic and is discovered incidentally on imaging for other pathologies. Here we present a case of littoral cell angioma that was discovered incidentally in a 17year old female being investigated for hepatosplenomegaly and anaemia and subsequently underwent splenectomy.
