Abstract:

The article presents literature data about splenic lesions, their morphological characteristics and occurrence. Methods of diagnostics of such lesions are considered. Rarely met pathology as lymphangioma of spleen is discussed. Article describes peculiarities of clinical and morphological classifications of lymphangiomas with different locations, their morphological structure, clinical features of this disease in children and adults. Detailed diagnostic algorithm for detection of splenic lymphangioma is described. Possibilities and advantages of modern methods of diagnostic testing, perspective and the leading role CT and MRI are described. Complexities in diagnostics were noted during the research; optimal combinations of diagnostic methods for better verification of such spleen lesions, for estimation of certain anatomical relation with other structures and tissues, spread of the affected area, as well as an assistance in definition of surgical tactics and volume of intervention, based on data were offered. Application of new technologies with the use SCT-dimensional reconstruction of the affected organ and area of further operation, and the 3D planning of intervention, conducting virtual operations for the optimal access, volume of interventions on the base of individual characteristics of vascular and anatomical features of the patient - gives significant advantages. Review of possible treatment methods is presented. As a case report we used obtained data of 26-years woman with identified during ambulatory ultrasound diagnostics lymphangioma of spleen. In conclusion it is pointed that early and accurate diagnostics is important for prevention of complications and for reduce of operational trauma.
