ABSTRACT

The spleen is the largest lymphoid organ in the body. It is an intraperitoneal organ which, on account of its anatomical position at the thoracoabdominal juncture, is difficult to access using methods of clinical exploration. Using image diagnostic methods: ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance, an adequate evaluation of the spleen can be achieved, providing anatomical and pathological information. The purpose of this review is recreation and exemplification, by means of pictorial representation, of the findings in splenic pathology by means of radiological and sectional image studies.
