Abstract

We present a case study detailing the occurrence of splenic lymphangioma in a 9-year-old girl. The multimodal imaging revealed a significant mass, a finding subsequently validated through histopathological examination. This case underscores the importance of considering splenic lymphangioma as a rare but notable differential diagnosis for solid masses observed in imaging studies.
