Abdomen's forgotten organ: Sonography and CT of focal splenic lesions.
Focal lesions within the spleen are being increasingly recognized as imaging technologies advance, and often provide a diagnostic challenge for radiologists. Knowledge of the types of pathologies that occur, determination of solid or cystic nature and a search for characteristic features including correlation with extrasplenic findings can usually allow a specific diagnosis or brief differential to be offered.
