Intrahepatic accessory spleen: imaging features

Liver Int. 2004 Jun;24(3):216-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1478-3231.2004.00915.x.

Abstract

The authors present a case report of a 60-year-old man with a hepatic unknown mass. For diagnosis, they used ECO, CT (with and without contrast), MR (with and without contrast) and an ultrasound-assisted percutaneous lesion biopsy. Thus the mass-lesion in the liver appeared to be an intrahepatic accessory spleen in a patient afflicted with chronic hepatitis.
