Radiographic appearance of diffuse splenic hemangiomatosis.
The evaluation of splenomegaly in a patient with a consumptive coagulopathy included a liver-spleen scan, an abdominal sonogram, and an abdominal computed tomographic scan, which demonstrated an enlarged spleen with a diffuse parenchymal textural abnormality. A diffuse hemangiomatous pattern was present on splenic angiography. A splenectomy was performed and splenic hemangiomatosis was confirmed. The radiographic findings in this rare entity are presented and discussed.
