The Spleen Revisited: An Overview on Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Figure 4
Pelvic splenosis. Axial (a) T2wi SSFSE, axial (b) T2 wi FSE and postcontrast axial T1wi 3D-GRE with fat suppression in the arterial (c) and venous (d) phase. This patient with history of splenectomy following a car accident underwent pelvic MRI to clarify pelvic masses depicted in previous CT. There are multiple nodular masses in the left hypochondrium (arrows, (a)) consistent with splenosis. There are also multiple well-defined nodules in the pelvis demonstrating high signal intensity on T2wi (arrow, (b)), with heterogeneous enhancement immediately after contrast material administration (c), becoming homogeneous in the venous (d) phase, consistent with splenosis.
