Abstract

The splenic angioma is a rare tumour. Its aspects MRI are still badly known. The authors show that in the 2 brought back cases, there is a hypersignal on the 3 echoes of T2 with a catch of contrast slow and centripetal after Gadolinium injection. The hemorrhagic risk in connection with a spontaneous or traumatic rupture imposes the identification of this lesion.
