Intrahepatic and intra-abdominal splenosis: A case report and review of literature

Figure 1 Computed tomography axial images from a patient with intrahepatic splenosis. A: arterial phase; a heterogenously enhancing left lobe liver lesion is present 3 cm in diameter (thick arrow). Similar heterogeneously enhancing peritoneal and lesser sac nodules are seen (arrowhead). The deformed spleen shows typical heterogenous “zebra stripe” arterial enhancement; B and C: portal venous phase; the liver lesion (thick arrow) and the peritoneal and retroperitoneal nodules (arrowhead) are isodense and the same density as the spleen (thin arrow).

Figure 2 Denatured red cell scan with fused computed tomography images. The liver lesion (thick arrow), peritoneal and retroperitoneal nodules (arrowheads) and spleen (thin arrow) show uptake in keeping with multiple areas of splenic tissue.
