Abstract

Isolated splenic inflammatory pseudotumors (IPT) are extremely rare, typically benign, inflammatory lesions with varied clinical presentations that pose a diagnostic challenge to clinicians due to their similarity in appearance to neoplasms. We present the case of a young woman diagnosed with a splenic IPT following investigation for persistent anemia, raised inflammatory markers, and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, whose symptoms resolved completely following splenectomy. This case highlights the need to consider this diagnosis when evaluating patients with a splenic mass of unknown etiology.

Keywords: Splenic tumor; benign splenic lesion; hypergammaglobulinemia; inflammatory pseudotumor; polyclonal gammopathy
