Systemic amyloidosis presenting as splenic tumor.
We report a case of amyloidosis manifesting as a splenic tumor and pleural effusion. Only one case of a splenic amyloid tumor has been reported in the literature, but its radiological findings were not described. Therefore, we present the computed tomographic (CT), sonographic, and angiographic features of splenic amyloid tumor.
