Findings of CT of the spleen were compared with those of histologic examination in 35 patients who had Hodgkin disease. CT provides a simple way to calculate splenic size. This index is also of value in the assessment of the histologic state of the spleen. An accuracy rate of 91%, specificity of 94%, and a sensitivity of 89% in diagnosing splenic localization of lymphoma was found in this study.
