Splenic infarcts present varied appearances on imaging, with hemorrhagic types being hyperdense. CT accurately detects complications like abscesses and bleeding, aiding differential diagnosis in myeloproliferative diseases.

Area of Science:

Radiology
Pathology

Background:

Splenic infarcts are focal areas of tissue death in the spleen.
They can manifest in various shapes (wedge, oval, linear) and densities.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the imaging characteristics of splenic infarcts.
To highlight their evolution over time and potential complications.
To discuss diagnostic challenges.

Main Methods:

Review of imaging findings (likely CT) of splenic infarcts.
Correlation with clinical and pathological data.

Main Results:

Splenic infarcts appear as wedge-shaped, oval, or linear areas.
Hemorrhagic infarcts are hyperdense.

Early stages show ill-defined hypodense defects with non-homogeneous enhancement.

Acute/sub-acute stages have low density and no enhancement.

Chronic stages show increased density and slight enhancement.

Disseminated infarction is associated with myeloproliferative diseases.

Conclusions:

CT is accurate in demonstrating splenic infarcts and their complications (abscess, bleeding, rupture).
Atypical infarct presentations can mimic other conditions like abscesses or leukemic infiltrations, posing differential diagnostic challenges.
