Synchronous occurrence of littoral cell angioma and multiple primary malignancies – A rare case report

Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare primary vascular neoplasm of the spleen that originates from the endothelial littoral cell lining of the red pulp sinuses. LCA has mostly benign behavior with a few reported cases of malignancy. LCA is strongly associated with diverse immunologic and neoplastic disorders. We report a case of LCA with synchronous renal cell carcinoma, adrenal cortical adenoma and JAK2 EXON 14 mutation positive Polycythemia vera. Histologically, entire spleen showed a neoplasm with anastomosing vascular channels lined by plump round cells. Diagnosis was confirmed by the endothelial/histiocytic phenotype of tumor. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first description of LCA associated with renal cell carcinoma, adrenal cortical adenoma and MPN.

Abstract

Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare primary vascular neoplasm of the spleen that originates from the endothelial littoral cell lining of the red pulp sinuses. LCA has mostly benign behavior with a few reported cases of malignancy. LCA is strongly associated with diverse immunologic and neoplastic disorders. We report a case of LCA with synchronous renal cell carcinoma, adrenal cortical adenoma and JAK2 EXON 14 mutation positive Polycythemia vera. Histologically, entire spleen showed a neoplasm with anastomosing vascular channels lined by plump round cells. Diagnosis was confirmed by the endothelial/histiocytic phenotype of tumor. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first description of LCA associated with renal cell carcinoma, adrenal cortical adenoma and MPN.
