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

• Splenectomy

  A previous history of splenic trauma or splenectomy should introduce this entity in the differential diagnosis in these patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  He had history of splenic injury 35 years back for which he underwent splenectomy. [casereports.in]

• Asymptomatic

  Most cases are asymptomatic, so further treatment is rarely required; all cases are managed conservatively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Surgical Procedure

  […] site infection Infections associated with surgical procedures, also referred to Rare cases imitating acute appendicitis: Three case reports and a review of literature Acute appendicitis with its characteristic clinical course is Solid pseudopapillary [prolekare.cz]

  However, it has been now well-established that the diagnosis of thoracic splenosis can be confirmed by radionuclide imaging study without unnecessary biopsy or surgical procedures. [e-sciencecentral.org]

  Intraabdominal splenosis is a generally asymptomatic entity incidentally diagnosed after the completion of CT scan or MRI, even surgical procedure 9. [medsci.org]

• Inguinal Hernia

  He was presented with incidental finding of mature cystic teratoma after elective surgery for what appeared to be left-sided inguinal hernia. The tumour was most likely a metastasis of childhood teratoma. [dlib.si]

• Aspiration

  Endoscopic ultrasound-fine needle aspiration (FNA) pathology confirmed diagnosis of a gastric splenule, and the patient was spared from surgical resection. [acgcasereports.gi.org]

  The lesion had been discovered incidentally on chest x-ray ( Box, A ) and investigated with a computed tomography scan of the chest ( Box, B ) and a fine needle aspiration biopsy under radiological guidance that was inconclusive. [mja.com.au]

  OBJECTIVE: To describe the role of the endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of pancreatic nodules suspicious for pancreatic splenosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The patient underwent two ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration biopsies. Cytologic diagnosis was inconclusive. Histology of laparoscopically obtained tissue disclosed presence of normal splenic tissue and led to diagnosis of hepatic splenosis. [dlib.si]

  Microscopic evaluation of sputum showed Burkholderia cepacia complex. The antibiotics were switched and the patient was treated with third-generation cephalosporin 1 week before the surgery. [link.springer.com]

• Abdominal Pain

  A 52-year-old man presented with abdominal pain with a background of splenectomy 25 years previously. Initial investigations lead to suspicion of a neuroendocrine tumour. Positron emission tomography octreotide scanning and chromogranin were raised. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] heat-damaged erythrocyte study is more specific because of reduced uptake of 99m Tc in otherwise normal liver tissue. 3 When a localised area of uptake corresponding to the mass is detected — supporting the diagnosis of thoracic splenosis — no further treatment [mja.com.au]

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]

Etiology Abdominal splenosis is seen after abdominal trauma or surgery (e.g. splenectomy). It results from seeding of the peritoneal cavity with splenic tissue which recruits local blood supply. [radiopaedia.org]

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]
