| Core Tip |
Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare benign vascular tumor of the spleen. No standard diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations are available. We report a patient with LCA and without comorbidities who died of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome 4 mo after surgery, which is extremely rare. Systematic analysis of relevant cases in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library databases revealed that LCA has a close relationship with malignancy and immunodysregulation. The possibility of LCA should not be overlooked when a patient presents with splenic tumors and malignancy or immune-related disease. Considering its potential malignant behavior, total splenectomy (including accessory spleen) and regular follow-up after surgery are recommended. |
