splenic littoral cell angioma

 

Synopsis

-  minute foci to large nodules almost completely replacing the splenic tissue
-  anastomosing vascular channels resembling splenic sinus
-  irregular lumina
-  papillary projections
-  cyst-like spaces
-  lined by tall endothelial cells that slough off into the vascular lumina and show hemophagocytosis
-  atypical cells absent
-  mitotic activity very low

Immunochemistry

-  neoplastic cells express both endothelial (FVIII-AG, BMA 120) and histiocytic (KP1, lysozyme) antigens
-  +/- S-100 +
