Abstract

The ultrasound and color Doppler sonography characteristics of inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) of the spleen are nonspecific, and thus preoperative diagnosis of the tumor is difficult. We describe a case of IPT of the spleen studied with ultrasound, color Doppler sonography, CT, and MRI, and we report the usefulness of US and MRI findings of the tumor.
