title: Lymphoma of the spleen.
abstract: Splenic involvement in lymphoma is common, although it is detected with limited accuracy using most conventionally employed imaging techniques. This article reviews the spectrum of appearances of splenic lymphoma using both routine and more recently developed techniques, including functional imaging. The importance of accurate splenic imaging in lymphoma assessment is also discussed, which has changed in recent years due to advances in therapy resulting in improvements in overall prognosis for both advanced and relapsed disease.
