splenic tuberculosis

Extrapulmonary

tuberculosıs: an old but resurgent problem. Axial contrast-enhanced CT (a) and axial T2 weighted MR (b) images of a 66-year-old female demonstrate multiple foci (arrowheads) in the spleen. Note small hypodense areas with peripheral enhancement in foci (a). Splenic TB

Computed

tomography of the spleen: how to interpret the hypodense lesion. Transverse contrast-enhanced CT images acquired during the portal-venous phase. a A 19-year-old woman with multiple pyogenic splenic abscesses during a period of immunosuppression and haematogenous spread of Staphylococcus aureus (short arrows). b A 48-year-old man with a pyogenic splenic abscess exhibiting gas formations and subcapsular fluid accumulation due to a spontaneous rupture of the abscess. c A 27-year-old man with multiple tuberculous abscesses (long arrows)

Extrapulmonary

tuberculosıs: an old but resurgent problem. A coronal contrast-enhanced CT image of a 43-year-old male shows multiple hypodense lesions (arrows) in the liver and spleen. Hepatic and splenic TB

Extrapulmonary

tuberculosıs: an old but resurgent problem. Abdominal CT scan and MR images of the same patient (in Fig. 27). Contrast-enhanced CT (a) and T1 weighted contrast-enhanced MR images (b) show a small abscess formation with rim-like enhancement in the anterior subcapsular region of the liver. Diffusion-weighted images (DWI) (c) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map (d) reveal diffusion restriction consistent with an abscess
