Splenic Tumor is a type of tumor or growth that occurs in the spleen. The spleen is an organ located in the upper left part of the abdomen, under the rib cage, that helps filter and store blood and is part of the immune system.
Types of Splenic Tumors[edit]
There are several types of splenic tumors, including hemangioma, lymphoma, metastatic cancer, and primary splenic cancer.
Hemangioma[edit]
A hemangioma is a benign, or noncancerous, tumor that is made up of blood vessels. It is the most common type of benign tumor found in the spleen.
Lymphoma[edit]
Lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the immune system. The spleen is part of the immune system, so it can be affected by lymphoma.
Metastatic Cancer[edit]
Metastatic cancer is cancer that has spread from another part of the body to the spleen. This is more common than primary splenic cancer.
Primary Splenic Cancer[edit]
Primary splenic cancer is cancer that starts in the spleen. This is rare.
Symptoms[edit]
Symptoms of a splenic tumor can vary depending on the type and size of the tumor. They may include abdominal pain, feeling full without eating, anemia, fatigue, and weight loss.
Diagnosis[edit]
Diagnosis of a splenic tumor typically involves a physical examination, medical history, and imaging tests such as an ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI. A biopsy may also be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for a splenic tumor depends on the type and size of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall health. Options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these.
