Primary splenic angiosarcoma. Case report and literature review.

abstract：:In certain experimental tumor models, tumor growth is less pronounced in immune deficient animals. Characteristically, tumors such as the murine B16 melanoma and Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL) are weakly antigenic. We proposed that with such tumors that are weakly antigenic, growth is enhanced by T-cell factors. Young mic...
