Presentation
We report a case of splenosis presenting as occult GI bleeding that was eventually treated with transarterial embolization. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Case presentation A 50-year-old male presented with a history of left-sided chest pain for a few years that had been progressively worsening over the last 3 months. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]
Entire Body System
- Dentist
This made us to consult a dentist. Consultation of dentist: no data on the presence of inflammatory and neoplastic diseases in the maxillofacial area and oral cavity. Lymph nodes are enlarged, painless, of normal consistency. [pancreas.imedpub.com]
Immune System
- Abdominal Lymphadenopathy
The differential diagnosis for soft tissue nodules include peritoneal metastases enlarged lymph nodes (abdominal lymphadenopathy) endometriosis [radiopaedia.org]
Observation Mrs RJ, aged 65, was referred to us for exploration of abdominal lymphadenopathies found by ultrasound following abdominal pain. The patient was in a generally good condition, stage 1 on the WHO performance status scale. [em-consulte.com]
Respiratoric
- Chronic Cough
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]

- 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]
Liver, Gall & Pancreas
- Liver Mass
We report a 33 year old man with multiple isolated liver masses indistinguishable from primary and metastatic liver tumor by standard evaluation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The largest mass measured 3.8 cm × 2.7 cm and involved segment 7 of the liver. A satellite mass located nearby measured 2.3 cm × 1.6 cm (Figure 2). The 2 masses may actually have represented one lobulated mass. [appliedradiology.com]
Urogenital
- Dyspareunia
In this patient, the splenosis was removed by laparoscopy, with no postoperative dyspareunia or dyschesia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
In the workup of pulmonary nodules in patients with a history of trauma, splenosis should be a consideration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
X-Ray
- Anterior Mediastinal Mass
A large anterior mediastinal mass extended up into the left hilum, overlying the entire aspect of the pericardium. In addition, there were multiple nodules along the surface of the lung and the diaphragmatic and left pleural surfaces. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]
Treatment
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]
Prognosis
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
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]

Prevention
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]
