Abdominal ultrasound: splenic mass 7.4/ 6.8 cm, round-oval in diameter, located at the inferior pole of spleen, with an intense inhomogeneous structure (Fig. 1a). Contrast enhanced ultrasonography in the arterial phase shows a rapid uptake of the contrast agent in the splenic mass, 10 seconds after injection, with a central area of necrosis (Fig. 1b). Rapid and complete washout is revealed in the late phase (Fig. 1c). Computer tomography shows heterogeneous mass located at the lower pole of spleen spontaneously isodense, moderately iodophilic, with necrotic areas and minimal extracapsular extension (Fig. 1d)
