The management of splenic lesions found in the young patient population (0–30 years) is a particular diagnostic dilemma because of the relatively low rates of invasive cancer and cancer-related death in young patients compared with the older patient population [5]. The decision whether to seek a histologic diagnosis for a splenic incidentaloma that is most likely benign is difficult given the low, but not zero, complication and morbidity rates associated with splenic biopsy [6, 7] or splenectomy [8]. This highlights the need to investigate the role of different imaging modalities in characterization of noncystic splenic lesions. The purpose of our study was therefore twofold. The first goal was to determine the causes of incidentally discovered splenic lesions in young patients on the basis of a relatively large number of patients from three academic medical centers that see a high volume of pediatric and young adult patients.
