To assess the value of imaging features for differentiating malignant from benign focal splenic lesions, 79 pathologically proved cases with contrast-enhanced CT or MRI were retrospectively studied. The morphological characteristics were assessed and the enhancement patterns were classified into five categories. After multivariate logistic analysis, the lesion margin and enhancement patterns were significantly different between benign and malignant lesions. The combination of ill-defined margin and hypovascular enhancement for suggesting malignant lesions had a good specificity (94.9%) and accuracy (89.9%). Morphological and enhancement characteristics on CT/MRI may be valuable in differentiating malignant from benign focal splenic lesions.
