Any one ever been told they have a hemangioma in their spleen? If so, were you told why? I have researched the net and really can not find anything in reference to spleen hamangioma's. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks

I just had my spleen removed due to hemangioma's of the spleen. I had no symptoms but a cat-scan showed a lesion. Dr. said they cannot biopsy the spleen because it is made up of blood - so to be sure it wasen't cancer I had it removed on Dec. 1, 2008. Thank God it was a benign multi nodular hemangioma of the spleen. No one knows the cause of this
