ABSTRACT

The spleen is the largest lymphoid organ in the body. It is an intraperitoneal organ which, due to its anatomical location, in the thoracoabdominal junction, is difficult to access with methods of clinical exploration. Image diagnostic methods: ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance, provide an adequate evaluation of the spleen, including anatomical and pathological information. The purpose of this review is to recreate and exemplify, by means of a pictorial representation, findings in splenic pathology using radiological and sectional image studios.
