  • Title: Pelvic splenosis mimicking endometriosis, causing low abdominal mass and pain.
    Author: Zitzer P, Pansky M, Maymon R, Langer R, Bukovsky I, Golan A.
    Journal: Hum Reprod; 1998 Jun; 13(6):1683-5. PubMed ID: 9688412.
    Abstract:
    Splenosis is the heterotopic autotransplantation of splenic tissue that usually follows traumatic splenectomy. The clinical significance of these splenic implants and the need for surgical removal is debatable. A case of a 35 year old woman, with post-traumatic splenectomy presenting with low abdominal pain and pelvic mass is reported. Laparoscopic removal of the pelvic splenic implants dispelled all complaints.
