Lymphoma presenting as an abdominal mass involving an ectopic spleen

We recently evaluated a patient with a huge asymptomatic abdominal mass which eventually proved to be an ectopic spleen. Pathology revealed a well-differentiated lymphoma involving the entire spleen and hilar nodes. Before her operation, a series of radiographic procedures was carried out which demonstrated the nature of the mass. The radiographic findings and diagnostic modalities used to establish the diagnosis form the basis of this report.
