| description | A 22-year-old male black patient presented with big splenomegaly due to a giant hemangioma of the spleen, showing thrombocytopenia and bleeding disorders.

His evolution was favorable after 18 months of follow-up. Splenectomy surgical treatment was recommended. The topic was reviewed due to the infrequency of the disease. |
