A member asked:
I have a 5mm hypodense lesion on spleen, detected by non contrast ct scan. potential causes and next steps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The vast majority: of incidentally discovered splenic lesions like this are benign cysts, pseudocysts, or hemangiomas requiring no treatment. Further evaluation with ultrasound or contrast enhanced CT or MRI may be useful for a more confident characterization of the lesion. Talk to your doc about it.
