A CASE OF SARCOIDOSIS WITH DIFFUSE SMALL NODULAR LESIONS IN THE SPLEEN ON CT AND MRI

We reported a case of sarcoidosis manifesting with diffuse small nodular lesions in the spleen on CT and MRI. These lesions showed low signal intensity on T2 weighted MRI. Following intravenous contrast material administration, CT and Ti weighted MRI demonstrated them as poorly enhanced lesions in the spleen. In a case of diffuse small nodular lesions, differentials include microabscesses, malignant lymphoma, and Gamma-Gandy nodules. Because these may show findings similar to this case, accurate differential diagnosis is essential.
