Figure 2 Imaging findings. A: Axial contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) at the level of the splenic hilum shows a large low-attenuation mass in the enlarged spleen. The mass involves the splenic vein with near total occlusion (arrow); B: The development of a gastric varice (arrowhead) at the fundus; C: The 6-mo follow-up CT shows that the splenic mass has almost completely resolved, allowing the splenic vein (arrow) to return to patency.
