A member asked:
Is the treatment for spleen hemangioma always surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: The lesion may be left untreated. If the lesion is large, it is usually treated by removing the spleen, however, you may wish to discuss selective embolization of the vessel with your doctor. See this site for more info. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11307096/
