MRI Features of Focal Splenic Lesions in Patients with Disseminated Tuberculosis

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to describe the MRI features of focal splenic lesions in patients with disseminated tuberculosis. CONCLUSION: Tuberculous focal splenic lesions are small, multiple, and most often associated with splenomegaly. Signal intensities vary on both T1- and T2-weighted images. Two different enhancement patterns are noted: peripheral enhancement and gradual peripheral enhancement with complete fill-in.
