Angiographic diagnosis of benign and malignant splenic tumors

Abstract

Fifteen cases of benign and malignant nodular splenic tumors, including six cysts, one hamartoma, two hemangiosarcomas, five reticulum cell sarcomas, and one Hodgkin's disease, are presented with their arteriographic manifestations. The value of splenic arteriography is emphasized, since it may provide rather specific information in the diagnosis of benign and malignant nodular splenic tumors. Differential diagnostic considerations are also discussed.
