description The spleen has been considered a ‘forgotten organ’ even if it is included and well demonstrated on every CT and MRI of the abdomen. Tumours of the spleen are rare; however, radiologists need to be aware of the main tumoral features and patterns in order to try to distinguish between benign and malignant masses often discovered incidentally. The principal tumoral masses, benign (cysts, haemangiomas, litteral cell angioma, lymphangioma) and malignant (lymphoma, metastases haemagiosarcoma), are described.
