Abstract
Smooth muscle neoplasms seem to be particularly frequent in children w ith AIDS, and several cases of such lesions, both benign and malignant (leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas), have recently been reported in the literature. We describe here the imaging findings in a boy with AIDS w ho developed two leiomyomas of the gallbladder wall as well as calcifi cation of the intraparenchymal splenic arteries.
