Computed tomography and ultrasound findings of a gas-containing splenic abscess.

A patient with an intrasplenic abscess diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound is presented. The characteristic findings of a gas-containing abscess, namely, a low density mass on CT coupled with an echo-free lesion associated with distal acoustical shadowing, are described.
