CT findings in splenic tuberculosis.

Splenic tuberculosis is rare and delay in diagnosis is common. We present two cases of splenic tuberculosis with their appearance on CT. The CT findings were multiple, round or ovoid, low-density lesions without calcification. Except for non-specific lymphadenopathy no abnormality nor history suggestive of tuberculosis was revealed prior to laparotomy. Although CT does not confirm a diagnosis of splenic tuberculosis, it would be a valuable examination to define the extent of disease and guide aspiration biopsy.
