A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen (Fig. 1), obtained after the administration of intravenous and oral contrast material, confirmed the results of ultrasonography, demonstrating splenomegaly (with the spleen measuring 15.4 cm in the craniocaudal dimension), and two wedge-shaped areas of hypoenhancement in the periphery of the spleen, features that were consistent with splenic infarcts.
