  • Title: Isolated hepatic splenosis: first reported case.
    Author: D'Angelica M, Fong Y, Blumgart LH.
    Journal: HPB Surg; 1998; 11(1):39-42. PubMed ID: 9830580.
    Abstract:
    Splenosis is the autotransplantation of splenic tissue, most commonly seen after traumatic splenic rupture and splenectomy. Post-traumatic splenosis is often considered a rare entity, but is probably underreported because of its asymptomatic nature. We describe the first reported case of splenosis presenting as a liver mass, indistinguishable from a liver tumor by standard preoperative evaluation. The pathophysiology, evaluation and management of splenosis is discussed as well as the decision to resect a benign appearing liver mass.
