Figure 5.7.18 Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia (Canine) CT
13y MC Giant Schnauzer with a splenic mass.
There is a large mass within the distal extrem­
ity of the spleen (a: arrows), with a relatively
hypoattenuating, stellate center on the con­
trast‐enhanced image (b: open arrow). The
mass is otherwise isoattenuating to normal
spleen on the enhanced image.

Figure 5.7.19 Nodular Lymphoid Hyperplasia (Canine) MR
13y FS Basset Hound with intervertebral disc
disease. Splenic nodules were seen inciden­
tally, which are hypointense on T1 and T2
images (a,b: arrow). The nodules were diag­
nosed as nodular lymphoid hyperplasia at the
time of postmortem examination.

12y MC Boston Terrier with pituitary‐dependent hyperadrenocorticism. There is lacy miner­
alization within the splenic parenchyma (arrow). A pituitary mass was diagnosed causing
hyperadrenocorticism.
