A 55-year-old patient was admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine due to pain in the intra-abdominal and lumbar region. Abdominal ultrasound and CT scans demonstrated a large tumour in the retroperitoneal space infiltrating the spleen, left kidney and gastric wall. The patient underwent resection of the tumour infiltrating the spleen, left kidney and a part of the stomach; histopathological examination showed the presence of haemangiosarcoma.
