Core Tip
Core Tip: We present the rare case report of splenic lymphangioma in an adult female. This is a very rare entity with only around 200 cases reported between 1970 to 2017. Isolated splenic lymphangioma is very rare and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of splenomegaly, for early intervention and prevention of potential complications.
