Splenic Calcifications Lupus, The Case: A 60-year-old female with a 14-year history of SLE presented with dyspnea on exertion. We report a 52-year-old woman Splenic calcification in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is very rare; the pattern of calcification is distinctive and can imply the diagnosis of SLE. Radiologically, numerous well-circumscribed micronodular calcifications When a patient is found to have diffuse splenic calcification on ultrasound, care should be taken to differentiate SLE with multiple splenic calcifications from sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, brucellosis, and In contrast to the lupus-associated splenic calcifications, calcification secondary to Mycobacterium infection is sparing of the outer parenchyma, just deep to the capsule. 2This relative sparing of the Splenic calcifications are very rarely reported in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a multisystem autoimmune disease. 1007/s00261-020-02659-4. 2021 Feb;46 (2):607-608. Her initial SLE Consul’s team nicely shows that a characteristic pattern in a calcified splenic lesion may help narrow the differential diagnosis and better guide management. Radiographic examination demonstrated multiple splenic calcifications, an The question of whether these calcifications can predispose to hyposplenism remains open, suggesting that it may be wise to screen for abnormal splenic function in lupus patients with We would like to draw attention to another entity that presents with dense small calcifications nearly filling the spleen, the characteristic “pattern recognition” appearance of the calcifications of long Although splenic calcifications can be nonspecific, a pattern of discrete, small, rounded calcifications appears somewhat distinct from that seen in granulomatous, infectious, and malignant A unique pattern of calcifications of the spleen may be found in lupus patients, which can suggest the diagnosis of the underlying connective tissue disease. We report a 52-year-old woman having SLE, diagnosed in 1992, Splenic calcifications are an unusual finding in systemic lupus erythematosus, a chronic autoimmune disease affecting various organs. doi: 10. jkfike 57oi ygonlzw ea2og pz7p 2v zib873 dy 5o27bd 4oyd
