  Fig. 1. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) findings in Patient 1 (A), Patient 2 (B), and Patient 3 (C). (A) EUS showed a round, homogeneous, hypoechoic splenic mass with smooth borders. The mass measured approximately 45×55 mm. Crosshairs and 3 arrows outline the splenic mass. (B) EUS showed a round, heterogeneous, hypoechoic splenic mass with irregular borders. The mass measured approximately 39×45 mm. The splenic mass is outlined by crosshairs and 3 arrows. (C) EUS showed a round, homogeneous, hypoechoic splenic mass with smooth borders. The mass measured approximately 71×48 mm. The splenic mass is outlined by crosshairs and 3 arrows.
