A surgically confirmed primary splenic angiosarcoma is described. Although angiography showed most of the characteristic findings of the present patient, MR imaging provided a useful information as a supplemental tool. The tumor demonstrated low-signal intensity on both T1- and T2-weighted images, which might differ from hemangioma findings. Subacute hemorrhage within the tumor was revealed by MR imaging, suggesting the way in which the tumor grew during a short period of time. This finding was different from reported angiosarcoma MR findings of siderotic nodules within the tumor. After the administration of Gd-DTPA, MR images clearly demonstrated heterogeneous enhancement within the tumor, which corresponded to the pathologic findings of solid parenchyma with necrotic tissues.
