RESUMEN
A 57 year old woman presenting with heartburn and a one month history of epigastric abdominal pain and left hypochondrium pain. After conducting an ultrasound scan and a CT scan, a low attenuation lesion in the spleen was found, and the definitive diagnosis was sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of the spleen (STANT) which was based on a splenectomy and a pathologic study. SANT is a benign rare vascular disease consisting of proliferation of angiomatoid/vascular nodules which predominantly affects women aged 27 to 68. It is usually detected as a coincidental finding in asymptomatic patients. The presumptive diagnosis is established by imaging tests, especially CT and MR; and the final diagnosis is as well established on the basis of pathology after a splenectomy.
