Abstract
There is a marked paucity of reports on contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (US) for focal splenic disease in the literature, and there are no previously reported contrast-enhanced US findings for splenic granuloma. We report the case of a 77-year-old cirrhotic woman with isolated splenic granulomas. We detail the diagnostic difficulty encountered in this case and briefly review the literature.Entities:
