Introduction. Myoid angioendothelioma of the spleen is an extremely rare
form of a benign splenic tumor. There is no characteristic symptomatology
for this disease. Case outline. We present four patients operated on for
myoid angioendothelioma of the spleen. Three patients were without problems
while one had nonspecific problems. Two patients underwent laparoscopic
surgery and two underwent open splenectomy. In all patients, the definitive
diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination. Discussion. By
reviewing the aforementioned medical databases of published papers in
English, we found a total of eight cases of myoid angioendothelioma of the
spleen. In addition to the mentioned number, we have added our series of
cases. Conclusion. Twenty-one years after the discovery of myoid
angioendothelioma of the spleen, the small number of cases presented in the
literature is still a limiting factor in making conclusions and in learning
lessons about this disease
