  • Title: [Splenic tuberculosis. Apropos of 12 cases].
    Author: Adil A, Chikhaoui N, Ousehal A, Kadiri R.
    Journal: Ann Radiol (Paris); 1995; 38(7-8):403-7. PubMed ID: 8762940.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis of the spleen is not exceptional. The authors report ten cases which occurred with a predominance in young male adults. All patients had at least one other site of tuberculosis, without any HIV infection. All patients had focal splenic lesions in the form of scattered hypoechogenic and hypodense nodules. These nodules had a pseudo-tumor appearance in one case. CT-guided puncture was performed in one case. Splenic tuberculosis is not as rare as is sometimes thought. The CT-guided splenic puncture is now performed routinely and remains the ideal diagnostic approach.
