Summary:A hemogram showed hemoglobin of 6.8 g/dL (normal, 12-16 g/dL); the white blood cell count was 3.7x10 9 /L (normal, 3.7- 12.9x10 9 /L) with a normal differential and platelets of 58x10 9 /L (normal 140-440x10 9 /L). Hemangioma, being the commonest benign tumor of the spleen, is CD8 negative in contrast to the CD8ipositive endothelial cells of splenoma.
