Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pathology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • The spleen is susceptible to a wide range of pathological conditions.
  • Accurate diagnosis of splenic entities is crucial for appropriate patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate the imaging appearance of diverse splenic pathologies.
  • To provide a systematic review of radiologic findings by modality and pathological category.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of imaging findings across modalities: plain films, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), scintigraphy, angiography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  • Information organized by pathological categories: congenital, infections, cysts, benign and malignant tumors, vascular, trauma, and miscellaneous.

Main Results:

  • Imaging findings are presented for a spectrum of splenic conditions.
  • A pathological categorization approach is favored over a pattern-based approach due to nonspecificity of splenic patterns.
  • Radiological findings, when integrated with clinical and laboratory data, significantly influence patient management.

Conclusions:

  • Imaging plays a vital role in evaluating splenic pathologies.
  • Radiological assessment guides therapeutic decisions, including surgery, percutaneous intervention, medical therapy, or observation.
