Nontraumatic splenic emergencies in onco-hematological pathology: what is important to know in CT evaluation?

The purpose of this article is to present and illustrate the computed tomography (CT) findings of splenic emergencies – vascular and infectious – encountered in hematologic malignancies, based on a selection of cases. The CT aspects were classified in vascular – hemorrhagic and ischemic – splenic lesions and infectious (abscesses) lesions. CT evaluation plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of acute splenic lesions in patients with hematologic malignancies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
