We report a case of splenosis presenting as occult GI bleeding that was eventually treated with transarterial embolization.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, splenosis can give rise to some complications including gastrointestinal hemorrhage as in the present case.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present a case of 68-year old woman with intrathoracic splenosis. Patient presented with a 2-month history of a dry cough unresponsive to administered antibiotics and antimycotics.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The present case illustrates the dangers of the current widespread practice of inappropriate diagnostic imaging of patients with low-risk prostate cancer.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of splenosis with colon and stomach invasion presenting as lower gastrointestinal bleeding and mimicking colonic gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Most cases are asymptomatic, so further treatment is rarely required; all cases are managed conservatively.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Microhistology prevents unnecessary surgeries, and reassures asymptomatic patients with hypoechoic, homogeneous, and well circumscribed pancreatic nodules.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Splenosis is a benign condition usually found incidentally and is usually asymptomatic.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients remain asymptomatic, and surgical intervention is not indicated in the majority of cases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This entity is asymptomatic in a vast majority of patients. Occult gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a relatively rare presentation of splenosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report the case of a 54-year-old woman with recurrenturinarytractinfection who underwent a Ga-pentixafor PET/CT for detection of occult infectious foci.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
Thoracic splenosis is a rare condition and should be considered in any patient with a left-sided thoracic mass and a distant history of severe thoracoabdominal injury. 1 A 61-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with pleuriticpain over the left[nejm.org]
While abdominal splenosis can make gastric symptoms such as abdominal pain or bowel obstruction, thoracic splenosis is commonly asymptomatic, although pleuriticpain or hemoptysis may present.[e-sciencecentral.org]
Multiphasic contrast-enhanced CT confirmed this result but showed two abdominalmasses (diameter of 9 cm and 7 cm, respectively) among bowel loops, strongly suspicious for cancer.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A 41-year-old man had left upper quadrant abdominal pain, constipation, and melena. About 6 years previously, he received a single gunshot wound to the abdomen, which required partial gastrectomy and small bowel resection.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The development of high frequency transvaginal scanning has facilitated the diagnosis of relatively small pelvicmasses and the advancement of laparoscopic surgical techniques may increase the frequency of diagnosing splenosis.[bhj.org.in]
A 31 years old man patient was admitted to our Institution because of upper chronicabdominalpain. Thirteen years before the recovery the patient was operated of splenectomy with laparotomic incision.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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 hepaticmass.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance demonstrated the presence of suspicious hepaticmass in the III segment. The mass has been radically excised with laparoscopic approach.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The physical examination of this patient complaining of epigastric and lowbackpain, except for postoperative abdominal scar, as well as laboratory tests were normal. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed chronic gastritis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]
CONCLUSION: Radiologists can suggest or establish the correct diagnosis of splenosis in the appropriate clinical setting, particularly in less typical cases, to avert unnecessary tissue sampling.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The splenic tissue has the macroscopic appearance of endometriosis, and its position in the pelvis also may suggest this diagnosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The increased prevalence of abdominal trauma due to road accidents and the growing armamentarium of available imaging modalities suggest that abdominal splenosis may be expected more often than ever.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
