Area of Science:

  • Abdominal Imaging
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Splenosis is the autotransplantation of splenic tissue after splenic trauma.
  • It is typically asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, often years post-trauma.
  • Splenosis can present as a benign mass, sometimes mistaken for a tumor.

Observation:

  • A 52-year-old male presented with a pelvic mass initially suspected to be malignant.
  • Diagnostic work-up included CT scan and technetium-99m (99mTc) scintigraphy.
  • Imaging confirmed the pelvic mass was splenosis.

Findings:

  • Pelvic splenosis was diagnosed in a patient presenting with a presumed malignant pelvic mass.
  • Technetium-99m colloid and heat-denatured erythrocyte scintigraphy were crucial in diagnosis.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The findings highlight splenosis as a differential diagnosis for pelvic masses post-splenectomy.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering splenosis in the differential diagnosis of pelvic masses.
    • Accurate diagnosis of splenosis can prevent unnecessary aggressive treatment for presumed malignancy.
    • Advanced imaging techniques are vital for identifying functional splenic tissue in ectopic locations.
