Graves and harmatoma or hemangioma?

[Ponkymay]

Has any body else with Graves’ disease been diagnosed with hemangioma or harmatoma on the spleen?

Hello Ponkymay :

I have Graves Disease but have no knowledge of what you are referring to :

BUT I do know of a lady who might - the leading researcher into all things Graves Disease is Elaine Moore who has the disease herself.

Her Graves Foundation website is Stateside but there is a World wide following, and there is a forum, much like this platform where you can ask questions of the community.

Elaine will also respond to emails if she is available though is currently getting over cancer treatment.

Ponkymay,

I have just googled this and it appears most hemangiomas are small asymptomatic lesions and even when a mass are usually benign.

I can't find any direct connection between this and Graves Disease. Have you been given any further details?

pennyannie has given you great info re Graves. Sorry you have this condition.

Hi Radd Thank you for your reply

Yes mine is 4.7x4.3x5.5 cm on the posterior of my spleen and causing me stitch like pain was just interested to see if there was anyone else with graves and this.

Take care
