Abstract
Splenic siderotic foci are scar tissue composing freckles, usually less than 1 cm. They turn reflective after further deposition of calcium. These foci are also known as Gamna-Gandy bodies and are most encountered in severe and long-standing portal hypertensive – congestive splenomegaly. Herein, we present a case of an unusual sonographic depiction of reflective foci wholly embracing an average-sized spleen and imposing a clinical dispute.
