Hepatosplenic Sarcoidosis: Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Findings and Implications for Clinical Practice
Figure 3
A 53-year-old male with history of pulmonary sarcoidosis. (a) B-mode US showed a rounded and hypoechoic lesion located in the lower pole of the spleen; the nodule did not show flow on Color Doppler US and had a maximum size of 1 cm (arrow, caliper 1). (b) Contrast-enhanced US confirmed the lesion and showed other progressively hypoenhancing nodules of few mm (in median 5 mm, arrowheads) that were not evident on conventional US. Histopathological examination of the spleen revealed infiltration by sarcoidosis.
