    Unenhanced CT chest images reformatted in axial (A and B), sagittal (C), and coronal (D) projections showing intrathoracic soft-tissue mass abutting left hemidiaphragm (arrows).

  • FIGURE 2.
    FIGURE 2.

    99mTc-labeled sulfur colloid planar images in anterior and posterior projections (A) and SPECT images in coronal projection (B) showing radiotracer uptake by thoracic masses (arrows). These findings confirmed tissue to be of splenic origin.
