    Author: Goerg C, Schwerk WB, Goerg K.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1991 May; 156(5):949-53. PubMed ID: 2017957.
    Abstract:
    The sonographic appearances of benign and malignant splenic lesions in 154 patients are illustrated. Sixty-six of the 154 patients had malignant splenic lesions; 55 of these had malignant lymphoma and 11 had splenic metastatic lesions. The lesions were hypoechoic in 64 cases (97%), including all cases of malignant lymphoma, and were hyperechoic in two. Eighty-eight patients had benign splenic lesions; findings included cysts, infarcts, abscesses, hemangiomas, and calcifications.
