Echography of splenic infarct in a case of systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract

A 29 year old female with systemic lupus erythematosus had a splenic infarct. The echogram showed a 4 x 4 x 5 cm cluster of echoes. After splenectomy the preoperative echograms were matched to the gross pathological findings and a post mortem water bath scan. In this single patient, the echosplenograms were of considerable aid in confirming the accuracy of the diagnosis of splenic infarct.
