Abstract

Splenic Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a rare nonneoplastic proliferative vascular lesion arising from red pulp of spleen with unknown etiology. Few pediatric cases were reported in literature. A five year old boy presented with vague abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a solid mass near splenic hilum on imaging. However, organ of origin was not clearly made out. He underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy, which showed a Splenic mass which was completely excised along with the spleen
