AIM: This report gives a comprehensive overview of ultrasonography of splenic
abnormalities. Certain ultrasonic features are also discussed with pathologic
correlation. METHODS: We review the typical ultrasonic characteristics of a wide
range of splenic lesions, illustrating them with images obtained in our
institution from 2000 to 2003. One hundred and three patients (47 men, 56 women),
with a mean age of 54 years (range 9-92 years), were found to have an abnormal
ultrasonic pattern of spleen. RESULTS: We describe the ultrasonic features of
various splenic lesions such as accessory spleen, splenomegaly, cysts, cavernous
hemangiomas, lymphomas, abscesses, metastatic tumors, splenic infarctions,
hematomas, and rupture, based on traditional gray-scale and color Doppler
sonography. CONCLUSION: Ultrasound is a widely available, noninvasive, and useful
means of diagnosing splenic abnormalities. A combination of ultrasonic
characteristics and clinical data may provide an accurate diagnosis. If the US
appearance alone is not enough, US may also be used to guide biopsy of suspicious
lesions.
