“…On US, micronodular form of hepatosplenic involvement may show diffuse hyperechogenicity, the ªbright liver or spleenº pattern, and on CT, miliary nodules ranging from 0.5 to 2 mm in diameter cannot be detected, but the liver and spleen may appear homogeneous or heterogeneous and normal in size or enlarged (Fig. 7) [28,53,54,55,56,57,58,59]. These radiological features are non-specific and seen in several benign or malignant conditions.…”

“…Computed tomography (CT) is not specific in differentiating between splenic IPT and other malignancies [8] . CT reveals a mass with a central hypodense area that may correspond to a necrotic zone surrounded by a hyperdense area with outlying hypodense zones [1,2,15] . MRI reveals a lesion with a minimum increase in the signal on T1, a hypersignal on T2, and gadolinium injection, a moderate enhancement in signal intensity on T1 as occurred in our patient [14,16] .…”

“…On abdominal ultrasound examination, the most suggestive findings are multiple small (< 1 cm), round hypoechogenic images, which are frequently hypodense on abdominal CT [6,8,11,21,26,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. Splenomegaly [6,27,[51][52][53][54] is also seen, and it is considered to be the most common feature of splenic involvement [55].…”

“…Splenomegaly [6,27,[51][52][53][54] is also seen, and it is considered to be the most common feature of splenic involvement [55]. However, some reports point out the possibility of presentation with uniloculated pseudotumoral macronodules [5,6,11,22,46,56,57]. A hyperechogenic nodule, with or without calcification, has also been described [6,58,59].…”
