Infiltration of the spleen in hematopoietic malignancy can produce diffusely increased parenchymal echo return on gray scale ultrasonography. In 13 patients with splenomegaly and an increased splenic echo pattern, nine had diagnoses of hematopoietic malignancy. Contrary to previous reports describing low-level echo return and increased anechoic conditions with infiltrating malignancy of the spleen, the patients in this report show that increased splenic echogenicity can be associated with malignant involvement.
造血系统恶性肿瘤浸润脾脏可在灰阶超声检查中产生实质回声普遍增强。在13例脾肿大且脾回声模式增强的患者中,9例被诊断为造血系统恶性肿瘤。与先前描述脾脏浸润性恶性肿瘤时低水平回声及无回声情况增加的报告相反,本报告中的患者表明脾回声增强可能与恶性浸润有关。
