Abstract

The spleen is a functionally complex organ, and is responsible for initiating immune reactions and for ltering the blood of foreign material and old or damaged red blood cells. In comparison to other parenchymal organs, it is not a common site of primary disease. However, a wide variety of pathologic process can occur in the spleen including congenital, inammatory, neoplastic, and traumatic lesions. In addition, certain normal variants may occur in the spleen. Most of these anatomical variants have no clinical signicance, however, it is important for radiologists to recognize these ndings correctly.
