摘要:

An unusual cause of abdominal soft-tissue masses is accessory splenic tissue. The Tc-99m-sulfur colloid liver–spleen scan is a valuable adjunct in making this diagnosis. This report describes a 47-year-old man who had an abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan as part of a pretransplant evaluation and was found to have multiple soft-tissue masses in the posterior aspect of his abdomen. His history was pertinent for a traumatic rupture of the spleen at the age of 12 years, for which he required a splenectomy. He had no symptoms or physical findings to indicate a lymphoproliferative disorder or other malignant process. His peripheral blood smear was remarkable for the absence of Howell-Jolly bodies. The nuclear scan confirmed the presence of uptake in the soft-tissue masses seen on MRI scan. This finding supports our diagnosis of splenosis in a man with a history of traumatic splenic rupture as a child.
