. Findings obtained with and significance of eight methods of diagnosing splenic infarct combined with advanced ovarian cancer are presented. The internal structures of the affected spleen were visualized only by ultrasonography and computer‐assisted roentgen‐ray tomography, revealing the enlarged spleen with its multilocular fluid‐filled structure. Total remission of this poorly differentiated ovarian adenocarcinoma was achieved by combined cytotoxic therapy with adriamycin, f‐ftorafur and cisplatinum.
