“…Cross-sectional imaging findings of leukaemia include lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly and miliary low attenuation splenic nodules ( Figure 11) [1,16]. Tiny focal lesions in the spleen and liver due to leukaemia can be difficult to differentiate from fungal microabscesses based on imaging findings alone [16].…”

ABSTRACT. Imaging morphology and metabolic activity of splenic lesions is of paramount importance in patients with haematological malignancies; it can alter tumour staging, treatment protocols and overall prognosis. CT, MRI and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT have been shown to be powerful tools for the noninvasive assessment of splenic involvement in various haematological malignancies. Since many haematological malignancies and non-neoplastic conditions can involve the spleen and imaging manifestations can overlap, imaging and clinical findings outside of the spleen should be looked for to narrow the differential diagnosis; confirmation can be obtained by pathological findings. Radiologists should be familiar with the cross-sectional imaging patterns of haematological malignancies involving the spleen as well as non-neoplastic splenic findings common in these patients to facilitate their care and follow-up. This pictorial review provides the common and uncommon imaging appearances and complications of various haematological malignancies involving the spleen on CT, MRI and PET/CT, and common pitfalls in diagnosis.

“…When a splenic abnormality can be visualized, it is generally as homogeneous splenomegaly [ 5 , 39 , 41 , 54 ] due to leukemic infi ltration [ 55 ], especially for acute myelogenous leukemia subtypes [ 41 ]. When severe, this enlargement can result in splenic rupture [ 56 ].…”
