High impact information on Splenosis

We report 2 cases of cirrhotic patients with hepatic splenosis, a rare condition that may be misinterpreted as HCC [1].
Visualization of intestinal splenosis by somatostatin receptor scintigraphy [2].
Intrathoracic splenosis: superiority of technetium Tc 99m heat-damaged RBC imaging [3].
BALB/c mice were divided into four groups according to the location of the autogenous graft: intraomental (IO), free peritoneal splenosis (FPS), retroperitoneal (RP), and nongrafted control (CT) [4].

Anatomical context of Splenosis

CONCLUSION: Alertness to the possibility of thoracic splenosis can lead to confirmation of the diagnosis with technetium Tc 99m-tagged red blood cell radionuclide scanning based on a previous history of traumatic splenectomy [5].
