| Abstract: | Splenic dermoids are rare, with few published case reports and no ultrasound images in the English literature. We report the case of a 57‐year‐old woman with that diagnosis and illustrate it with ultrasound, CT, and pathology images. We discuss the differential diagnosis of solid splenic lesions. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 43 :132–134, 2015 |
