Splenosis, the spread of spleen tissue, can mimic liver tumors. This case highlights the importance of considering splenosis in liver mass evaluations, even when it appears benign.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Pathology
  • Surgery

Background:

  • Splenosis results from the autotransplantation of splenic tissue, typically following splenic rupture or splenectomy.
  • Post-traumatic splenosis is often asymptomatic and potentially underdiagnosed.

Observation:

  • A case is presented where splenosis manifested as a liver mass.
  • The splenosis was initially indistinguishable from a hepatic tumor during standard preoperative assessments.

Findings:

  • This report details the first instance of splenosis presenting as a liver mass.
  • The study discusses the pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies for splenosis.

Implications:

  • The findings underscore the necessity of including splenosis in the differential diagnosis for liver masses.
