The spleen shows multiple tiny echogenic foci without acoustic shadowing diffusely involving the parenchyma. These are siderotic nodules or Gamna-Gandy nodules.
Case Discussion
Gamna Gandy nodules also known as splenic siderotic nodules and fibrosiderotic nodules, are small focal deposits of iron and calcium within fibrous tissue and elastic fibers in spleen resultiing in tiny nodules of less than one millimeter in size.
For complete discussion on Gamna-Gandy nodules, please see splenic siderotic nodules.
