Our purpose was to identify the MR features of focal splenic lesions with an emphasis on enhancement patterns. The addition of a contrast-enhanced dynamic sequence to unenhanced MR images improves the study of focal splenic lesions. The analysis of the MR features along with the clinical history permits either the characterization of the most common splenic lesions or improvement in the detection of malignant diseases. CONCLUSION. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI improves the detection and characterization of focal splenic lesions. tate-of-the-art MRI sequences, S including the use of dynamic contrast-enhanced series on immediate and delayed acquisitions, permit the characterization of the most common splenic lesions, such as cysts, small hemangiomas, and hamartomas; and improvement in the detection of malignant diseases such as lymphoma and metastases. Nevertheless, percutaneous or surgical biopsy is necessary when malignancy is suspected or focal lesions with atypical MRI features are present. ppendix 1 lists the classification of focal splenic lesions discussed in this article. Technique lthough unenhanced MRI detects most cysts and hemangiomas, it is usually not sensitive enough for the detection of less common splenic lesions. The use of a dynamic contrast-enhanced gradient-echo sequence improves the detection of focal splenic lesions, mainly in the acquisition obtained immediately after contrast administration, allowing a better differentiation between normal and abnormal spleen [1] because of differences in blood supply. Our standard protocol includes a turbo gradient-echo axial T1- weighted sequence; an axial and coronal breath-hold turbo spin-echo T2-weighted sequence; an axial STIR sequence; and a 3D fatsuppressed gadolinium-enhanced dynamic series with immediate (12 sec after contrast injection) and 1- and 5-min delayed contrastenhanced acquisitions. Normal Variants Notches, clefts, and accessory spleens (spleniculi) can be misinterpreted as splenic nodules. The identical signal intensity of these pseudolesions to splenic parenchyma in all sequences allow their characterization. MRI appearance of these nodules is similar to that of splenosis. Polysplenia Syndrome Polysplenia syndrome is a congenital disorder associating thoracoabdominal abnormalities and complete situs ambiguous (Fig. 1), which typically shows multiple splenic nodules. Infectious Lesions MRI surpasses enhanced CT in the evaluation of fungal infections [2]. Candida albicans, spergillus fumigatus, and Cryptococcus neoformans are responsible for the majority of these infections in immunocompromised patients. cute Candida abscesses appear on fat-suppressed turbo spinecho T2-weighted images (Fig. 2) as small hyperintense subcapsular lesions that do not usually show peripheral enhancement in the acute stage because of the immunocompromised state of these patients; or in the chronic stage because of fibrotic changes [3]. acterial abscesses, which are usually larger than fungal ones, are frequently associated with endocarditis and typically show peripheral and perilesional enhancement on contrast-enhanced sequences [4] (Fig. 3). Hydatid cysts are secondary to infection by JR:186, June

Fat-saturated turbo spin-echo T2-weighted images make lesions appear more conspicuous. Echinococcus granulosus that appear as single or multiple cysts with or without wall calcifications (Fig. 4). Healed granulomas are better depicted by CT than MRI because they are completely calcified. Cysts Cysts are the most common benign focal splenic masses [2]. They can be divided into epithelial or true cysts, which are lined with epithelium and may show septations and peripheral calcifications (Fig. 5); and false cysts or pseudocysts that can be posttraumatic or secondary to pancreatitis and usually have a more heterogeneous appearance than true cysts (Fig. 6) JR:186, June 2006
3 MRI of Focal Splenic Lesions Downloaded from by on 01/28/18 from IP address Copyright RRS. For personal use only; all rights reserved Vascular Lesions Focal Vascular Lesions enign tumors Hemangioma is the second most common focal lesion and the most common benign tumor of the spleen [5]. Most hemangiomas are smaller than 2 cm [4], well-defined, homogeneous, hypo- to isointense on T1-weighted images, and most commonly hyperintense on T2-weighted images compared with splenic parenchyma (Fig. 6). On dynamic contrast-enhanced Fig year-old man with Staphylococcus aureus abscess secondary to endocarditis. and, xial gradient-echo unenhanced () and immediate postcontrast () 2D fat-suppressed T1-weighted images show peripheral enhancement of huge cysticappearing lesion. Clinical data and peripheral enhancement on enhanced MRI sequences led to diagnosis of splenic abscess. studies, they usually show peripheral enhancement with centripetal, delayed progression [5] (Fig. 7), although the typical nodular, peripheral enhancement of hepatic hemangiomas is uncommon [2, 5]. Smaller hemangiomas may also show homogeneous enhancement on immediate postcontrast acquisitions (Fig. 8), remaining enhanced on delayed images [2]. Therefore, any small splenic lesion that is hyperintense on T2- weighted images and shows homogeneous or peripheral enhancement on immediate postcontrast images should be considered a hemangioma. Larger hemangiomas are heterogeneous with areas of hemorrhage and thrombosis and enhance in a centripetal fashion with persistent nonenhancing areas [5] (Fig. 9). Therefore, larger hemangiomas need follow-up or biopsy to rule out angiosarcoma. Littoral cell angioma and hemangioendothelioma are rare, benign, vascular tumors that can show siderotic nodules [5]. Fig year-old woman with splenic hydatid cyst., Septated hyperintense splenic mass is seen on coronal turbo spin-echo T2-weighted image. Smaller peripheral cyst represents daughter cyst (arrow).

In the uncommon case of whole spleen replacement, an increased risk for splenic rupture exists. Hemangiopericytoma rarely involves the spleen. Nonneoplastic lesions On MRI, splenic infarcts are more conspicuous on delayed contrast-enhanced images as defined perfusion defects [2]. typical feature is the rim sign or capsular enhancement caused by blood supply from capsular vessels [6]. Intrasplenic hematomas in the acute phase show high signal intensity on T1-weighted images [6]. Later, they Fig year-old man with pancreatic pseudocyst with splenic involvement.

Old, healed hematomas are commonly hypointense on T1- and T2-weighted images (Fig. 10). Diffuse Vascular Lesions Hemangiomatosis is a rare vascular tumorlike entity that has a similar appearance to angiosarcoma (Fig. 11). On MRI, lymphangioma usually presents as a multicystic lesion, although some of the cysts may be hyperintense on T1-weighted images (Fig. 12) because of their proteinaceous or hemorrhagic content [5]. lthough malignant degeneration of lymphangioma is rare, MRI is able to show intracystic solid components [5]. Peliosis usually presents in immunocompromised patients [5], and its most common MRI appearance is that of multiple cystic and hemorrhagic nodules, sometimes of hypervascular nature, associated with siderotic nodules (Fig. 13). Nonvascular Tumors enign Hamartoma is a rare nonneoplastic tumor that usually appears as a sharply defined, rounded, single solid lesion [2].

Note progressive peripheral enhancement on immediate- and 1-min postcontrast images and how nodules become almost completely isointense to splenic parenchyma on delayed acquisition. D enhancement on immediate postcontrast-enhanced images are key features in the differentiation between hamartomas and hemangiomas [7]. On delayed postcontrast images, hamartoma enhances in a relatively uniform and intense fashion (Fig. 14C) with central hypovascular areas [7]. Therefore, MRI is the preferable imaging technique for its distinction from hemangiomas JR:186, June 2006

Malignant Lymphoma is the most common splenic malignancy [4] and can present as multiple focal lesions or diffuse involvement or, more rarely, as a single mass (Fig. 15). oth Hodgkin s and non-hodgkin s lymphoma may present in the spleen as the primary site or as a part of systemic involvement. Immediate postcontrast MRI images surpass CT in their evaluation [2], although the role of MDCT is not established yet. Lymphomatous nodules tend to be isointense to splenic parenchyma on T1- and T2-weighted images (Fig. 12), although they can be hypointense on T2-weighted images [2, 6]. This feature is useful in their distinction from metastases, which are rarely hypointense on T2- weighted images [2]. Immediate postcontrast images show hypovascular nodules, which usually become isointense to the spleen within the first minute after contrast administration [4] (Fig. 16). Chloromas, most commonly associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, are rare. They appear as multiple ill-defined masses without enhancement on immediate postcontrast images [2] (Fig. 17). Metastases are commonly isointense to the spleen on unenhanced sequences [6], although they can be hyperintense on T2- weighted images, mainly when necrosis or cystic changes are present (Fig. 18).
