Abstract
We present a case of large splenic hemangiosarcoma in a 40-year-old man ass ociated with consumptive coagulopathy. Computed tomography showed radial ca lcification within the splenic tumor. On magnetic resonance imaging, T2 sho rtening represented a meshwork of calcification and surrounding fibrosis. T he possibility of hemangiosarcoma should be considered when a large splenic tumor with massive calcification is noted.
