Patient: In May 2009, my child was found to have a hemangioma under the spleen of 0.4*0.3cm in the hospital, but due to its small size, I did not pay much attention to it. What kind of surgical treatment is best, and are there other ways to treat it without surgery, such as traditional Chinese medicine; what is the effect of removing the spleen on the 6-year-old’s body? A: If it is a hemangioma of the spleen, it is best to treat it surgically. The surgery, depending on the location of the tumor, can either remove the whole spleen or part of the spleen. The Chinese have not yet seen any major effects on the body after removal of the spleen.
