Thoracic splenosis
Abstract:
Intrathoracic splenosis is a rare condition that results after rupture of the spleen or diaphragmatic injury. We present herein a case of intrathoracic splenosis of a 48-years-old woman whom splenectomy had been performed 5 years ago after a traffic accident. The patient was operated on with suspicion of malignancy and total resection of the lesion was performed with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Histopathologic examination confirmed the splenosis diagnosis. Thoracic splenosis should be suspected for the patients with thoracic lesions whom had medical history of thoracoabdominal injury including splenectomy or diaphragmatic injury.
