Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Splenosis is the autotransplantation of splenic tissue, often following splenic rupture.
  • Diagnosis typically relies on patient history and characteristic findings on computed tomography (CT).

Observation:

  • Multiple nodules suggestive of splenosis were observed on CT scans.
  • Selective splenic scintigraphy using heat-denatured red blood cells confirmed the diagnosis.

Findings:

  • The case involved splenosis co-occurring with a phlegmon and infectious process.
  • Surgical intervention was necessary due to the complicated nature of the splenosis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering infectious complications in splenosis.
  • It highlights the role of surgical management in complex splenosis presentations.
