Abstract EN

Lymphoma is the most common malignancy of the spleen.

The imaging features of splenic lymphoma are nonspecific and mostly lymphomas present as a diffusely enlarged spleen.

Focal lesions are described but remain of low density or intensity on CT or MRI, respectively.

We describe a histologically proven case of splenic lymphoma that showed an atypical hyperdense/hyperenhancing appearance on imaging suspicious for a vascular pathology.

To the best of our knowledge and based on review of English literature, such an appearance of splenic lymphoma is extremely unusual and rare.
