An unusual pelvic mass: Contrast enhanced sonographic diagnosis of pelvic splenosis

We present a case where a pelvic mass incidentally visualized on an MRI examination, was proven to represent a deposit of splenosis by contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). CEUS demonstrated persistent late‐phase enhancement characteristic of splenic tissue. Ultrasound practitioners should be aware of this condition when an unusual abdominal or pelvic mass is encountered in a patient with a history of splenic trau ma or surgery. CEUS is ideally suited to confirming the diagnosis.
