Abstract

Isolated splenic inflammatory pseudotumors (IPT) are extremely rare, typically benign, inflammatory lesions with varied clinical presentations that pose a diagnostic challenge to clinicians due to their similarity in appearance to neoplasms. We present the case of a young woman diagnosed with a splenic IPT following investigation for persistent anemia, raised inflammatory markers, and polyclonal hyper-gammaglobulinemia, whose symptoms resolved completely following splenectomy. This case highlights the need to consider this diagnosis when evaluating patients with a splenic mass of unknown etiology.
Keywords: splenic tumor; inflammatory pseudotumor; polyclonal gammopathy; benign splenic lesion; hypergammaglobulinemia splenic tumor; inflammatory pseudotumor; polyclonal gammopathy; benign splenic lesion; hypergammaglobulinemia
