Gamna-gandy bodies of the spleen depicted by unenhanced CT: report of two cases

Abstract

We report two cases of Gamna-Gandy bodies (GGB) of the spleen, confirmed by MRI, in which unenhanced CT depicted multiple faint high-attenuation spots in the spleens. These spots were considered to represent the calcifications in GGB. CT and MRI reflect the different compositions of GGB. In a very limited number of patients with portal hypertension, unenhanced CT may detect GGB, and this entity should be included in the differential diagnosis of calcified foci of the spleen.
