What is a splenic artery hemangioma?

Splenic artery hemangioma is a hemangioma that grows on the splenic artery and is a benign tumor. The growth site of splenic artery hemangioma is the splenic artery, and it is currently believed that the development of splenic artery hemangioma may be related to atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia of the splenic artery, multiple pregnancies, portal hypertension, acute and chronic pancreatitis and other factors. Patients may experience clinical symptoms such as left upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting during the disease. If diagnosed with splenic artery hemangioma, it is recommended to receive surgical treatment as soon as possible to avoid rupture of the aneurysm, which is life-threatening. Currently, the commonly used surgical treatments include splenic artery embolization and splenic artery aneurysm resection.
