Isolated intrasplenic vascular calcifications in a child with type 1 diabetes mellitus---A case report.
We report a case of vascular calcifications in the spleen of a 7-year-old girl who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). The possible etiology for vascular calcifications might be medial sclerosis associated with DM. To the best of our knowledge, this finding has not yet been reported in the literature. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 45:438-440, 2017.
