title: Peliosis of the spleen associated with a paraganglioma. Case report.
abstract: We report a case of splenic peliosis imitating metastases on CT. The patient was a 44-year-old man who previously had a retroperitoneal paraganglioma surgically removed. Peliosis must be considered a potential differential diagnosis of hypodense foci of the spleen seen on CT.
