Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Amyloidosis is a rare condition involving abnormal protein deposits.
  • Splenic involvement in amyloidosis is uncommon, with splenic tumors being exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with amyloidosis manifesting as a splenic tumor and pleural effusion.
  • Radiological findings for splenic amyloid tumors are sparsely documented in existing literature.

Findings:

  • This report details the computed tomographic (CT), sonographic, and angiographic features of a splenic amyloid tumor.
  • The imaging characteristics provide valuable insights into the radiological presentation of this rare entity.

Implications:

  • Understanding the radiological features of splenic amyloid tumors can aid in diagnosis.
