Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation: Laparoscopic Splenectomy as Therapeutic and Diagnostic Approach at the Same Time

Figure 4

Comparison of the lesion (a, c) with the adjacent spleen parenchyma (b, d). The overall phenotype of lesional vessels differed from that of spleen parenchyma. The blood vessels within the lesion showed three main immunophenotypes: CD34+/CD8–/CD31+ capillaries, CD34–/CD8–/CD31+ small veins, and rarer CD34–/CD8+/CD31+ sinusoids. Original magnifications—a–d: ×100.
