Popis:	Splenomegaly, infarction, spontaneous rupture and hyposplenism are among the frequently manifestations of splenic involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Exceptionally, extensive splenic calcifications are found in SLE. This aspect is due to the periarterial thickening in an “onion-skin” model. Discrete, small, circular and diffuse nodules that are distributed at the level of the parenchyma, but that are missing at the capsular and subcapsular level, are the main characteristics of these calcifications. The aim of this report is to present the case of a SLE patient with this rare splenic calcifications association.
