Overview

There are no echocardiographic findings associated with aplastic anemia. On abdominal ultrasound, hepatosplenomegaly may raise the possibility of malignancy as a cause of pancytopenia.

Echocardiography

There are no echocardiographic findings associated with aplastic anemia.

Ultrasound

Abdominal ultrasound:[1]

  • An enlarged spleen and/or enlarged lymph nodes raises the possibility of a malignant hematological as a leading cause of pancytopenia.
  • In younger patients, abnormal or anatomically displaced kidneys are features of Fanconi anaemia.
