[Accessory spleens. Scanographic and ultrasonic study].

    Summary

    Accessory spleens can mimic left upper quadrant masses. Contrast-enhanced CT is crucial for accurate diagnosis when sonography shows no parenchymal bridge, confirming isodensity.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Abdominal Imaging

    Background:

    • Accessory spleens can present diagnostic challenges in the left upper quadrant.
    • Distinguishing accessory spleens from other masses requires specific imaging characteristics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the role of contrast-enhanced CT in diagnosing accessory spleens.
    • To differentiate accessory spleens from other left upper quadrant masses.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of imaging findings for accessory spleens.
    • Comparison of sonography and contrast-enhanced CT in evaluating left upper quadrant masses.
    • Analysis of parenchymal bridging and isodensity on CT scans.

    Main Results:

    • Sonography may show a parenchymal bridge between accessory spleens and the spleen.
    • Absence of a parenchymal bridge on sonography necessitates further imaging.
    • Contrast-enhanced CT confirms isodensity, aiding in the correct diagnosis of accessory spleens.

    Conclusions:

    • Contrast-enhanced CT is essential for accurate diagnosis of accessory spleens when sonographic findings are equivocal.
    • Isodensity on contrast-enhanced CT is a key indicator for accessory spleens.
    • Proper imaging techniques improve diagnostic accuracy for left upper quadrant masses.
