A Case of Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation of the Spleen: Correlations Between Contrast-enhanced Ultrasonography and Histopathologic Findings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a recently recognized benign vascular lesion of the spleen. Detection of SANT as an incidentaloma has increased due to improvements in imaging techniques. However, a definitive diagnosis of SANT on CT or MRI remains difficult. We report the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography with Sonazoid in a case of SANT in a 50-year-old woman, with gross and microscopic pathologic correlations.

We report the 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) findings of sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen. The patient was a 37-year-old woman with a splenic mass incidentally found on abdominal ultrasound. FDG-PET/CT showed weak FDG accumulation (maximum standardized uptake value = 3.65). An unenhanced CT scan showed a...
