PATHOLOGY OF THE SPLEEN GRANULOMATOUS DISEASE
• Occasionally, small echogenic foci may be seen throughout the spleen.
• These small foci most often represent granulomas.
• They can be individual or multiple and produce an acoustic shadow.
• Granulomas are often found in patients who have a history of histoplasmosis, tuberculosis, or sarcoidosis.
