Symptoma

Splenosis

We report a case of splenosis presenting as occult GI bleeding that was eventually treated with transarterial embolization. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Abdominal Mass

    Multiphasic contrast-enhanced CT confirmed this result but showed two abdominal masses (diameter of 9 cm and 7 cm, respectively) among bowel loops, strongly suspicious for cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Splenosis presenting as multiple intra-abdominal masses mimicking malignancy.Kok J, Lin M, Lin P, Ngu C, Sam S, Loh C, Kociuba K. ANZ J Surg. 2008 May;78(5):406-7. This case was compiled by Dr. Joji Varghese, MEDVAMC [nuclearmd.com]

    In addition, this experience gives us some alert that if abdominal mass was found in patients who underwent splenectomy, we should consider the existence of splenosis. [medsci.org]

  • Pelvic Mass

    Splenosis should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis especially for patients with a history of posttraumatic splenectomy who are scheduled for pelvic mass surgery. [ir.uiowa.edu]

    The development of high frequency transvaginal scanning has facilitated the diagnosis of relatively small pelvic masses and the advancement of laparoscopic surgical techniques may increase the frequency of diagnosing splenosis. [bhj.org.in]

  • Constipation

    We present the use of Tc-99m sulphur colloid SPECT/CT in diagnosing a case of multiple abdominopelvic splenosis as the cause of new-onset tenesmus and constipation, which was initially thought to be due to colorectal malignancy, 47 years following the [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Tenesmus

    We present the use of Tc-99m sulphur colloid SPECT/CT in diagnosing a case of multiple abdominopelvic splenosis as the cause of new-onset tenesmus and constipation, which was initially thought to be due to colorectal malignancy, 47 years following the [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Chronic Abdominal Pain

    A 31 years old man patient was admitted to our Institution because of upper chronic abdominal pain. Thirteen years before the recovery the patient was operated of splenectomy with laparotomic incision. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hepatic Mass

    A 38-year-old male hepatitis B virus carrier, who had a motorcycle accident and splenectomy 14 years before the current incident, was hospitalized due to a hepatic mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Although the spleen was clearly absent on this patient’s CT scan, determining the hepatic mass as a case of intrahepatic splenosis without more invasive means, such as a tissue biopsy, would have been difficult without scintigraphy. 99m-Tc-labeled heat-denatured [appliedradiology.com]

  • Flushing

    Tabriz, East Azerbaijan, Iran. [email protected] Abstract We report a case of combined subcutaneous, intrathoracic, and abdominal splenosis who presented with attacks of flushing, tachycardia and vague abdominal pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Suggestibility

    Some cases may be difficult to diagnose, especially if features suggesting TS are not recognized. This may lead to an extensive workup and unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures including thoracotomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In the workup of pulmonary nodules in patients with a history of trauma, splenosis should be a consideration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

By means of this case report and 31 literature reviews, potential treatment modalities concerning clinical diagnostics, patient's management could be discussed.The report presents the case of a 33-year-old man with a liver lesion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment and prognosis Management is expectant in almost all cases where surgery is considered only indicated in occasional symptomatic patients and in situations where diagnosis is doubtful and when it is not possible to exclude malignancy. [radiopaedia.org]

Article analyzes current data on macroamylasemia and splenosis, their etiology and diagnostics in particular. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This is evidence of the great importance of determination of the proper etiology of clinical symptoms such as chronic cough or thoracic pain. [link.springer.com]

Gastric splenosis should be considered as a possible etiology for subepithelial masses in patients with prior splenic trauma or surgery, particularly if their peripheral blood smear does not show Howell-Jolly bodies. 4,5 Figure 4. [acgcasereports.gi.org]

Distinguishing the etiology of hepatic nodular lesions is important because it significantly alters therapeutic procedures. [oatext.com]

The imaging features and pathophysiology of hepatic splenosis are presented. Owing to the low rates of metastatic disease, the current guidelines do not recommend diagnostic imaging for low-risk prostate cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We report a case in which nuclear imaging was used to make the diagnosis of thoracic splenosis, thus preventing the need for invasive procedures and avoiding unnecessary patient apprehension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Purposeful autotransplantation of splenic tissue is one of the splenosis variants used to prevent postsplenectomy syndrome, the effectiveness of which is so far under discussion [ 23 ]. [pancreas.imedpub.com]
