Ectopic splenomegaly in Felty's syndrome.
A 50-year-old woman with Felty's syndrome, who presented with "menopausal" symptoms, was found to have a large pelvic mass on physical exam. Computed tomography of the pelvis led to an incorrect diagnosis of malignancy, while radionuclide imaging using Tc-99m sulfur colloid confirmed the diagnosis of ectopic splenomegaly.
