Abstract(s)
A 62-year-old woman presented with left upper quadrant pain and anorexia for 1 month. She had a past medical
history of nephrolithiasis, extramembranous glomerulonephritis and a relevant atopic background.
Physical examination as well as laboratory tests were
unremarkable. Abdominal computed tomography, performed without endovenous contrast due to patient’s atopic
history, highlighted a nodular density between the pancreatic tale and splenic hilum. On unenhanced magnetic
resonance imaging this corresponded to a vascular structure, next to the spleen, with a ‘‘serpentine’’ shape and
apparently in continuity with this organ. Additionally, within
the spleen there were three, well circumscribed, macronodular lesions, with lobular borders, the biggest measuring
2.5 cm in greater diameter. These lesions were isointense on
T1-weighted sequences and hypointense with mildly hyperintense septa on T2 and FATSAT Fiesta sequences. No other relevant lesions were identified.
