Splenosis: A Rare Etiology for Bowel Obstruction—A Case Report and Review of the Literature
TL;DR: A case of a 36-year-old male patient who sustained a gunshot wound to his left abdomen requiring a splenectomy and bowel resection fifteen years prior to his presentation with small bowel obstruction requiring exploration, adhesiolysis, and resection of the mesenteric splenic deposit is presented.
Journal Article
Splenosis in gastric fundus mimicking gastrointestinal stromal tumor: a report of two cases and review of the literature.
TL;DR: The precise diagnosis of splenosis was distinct by post-operative histopathologic examination, and a mini review of previously published articles was made in order to provide indication to solve future doubts in diagnosing and treatingSplenosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous small bowel and colon obstruction due to splenosis. A case report and review of literature.
TL;DR: Abdominal splenosis is an autotransplantation of splenic tissues throughout the body post splenic rupture or splenectomy, and may rarely be associated with abdominal pain and/or gastrointestinal symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous hemorrhage from splenic tissue 13 years after total splenectomy: report of a case.
Takehiro Maki,Makoto Omi,Daisuke Ishii,Hiroyuki Kaneko,Kenjiro Misu,Hitoshi Inomata,Masatoshi Tateno,Kazuyoshi Nihei +7 more
TL;DR: Spontaneous hemorrhage from accessory spleens or splenosis is extremely rare, and relevant case reports suggest that surgical resection of bleeding sites yields favorable prognosis although preoperative qualitative diagnosis seems to be difficult.

A Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding Due to a Post-Traumatic Splenosis: "Wait and See" Represents a Feasible Attitude: A Case Report.
Fausto Famà,Giacobbe G,Marcello Cintolo,Maria Gioffrè-Florio,Socrate Pallio,Pierluigi Consolo +5 more
TL;DR: The case of a 68-year-old Caucasian man that was admitted for an increasing lower gastrointestinal bleeding associated to a vague abdominal pain is described, showing that wait and see could prove a feasible attitude for the management of clinically stable patients.

Journal ArticleDOI
The histological features of splenosis.
N.J. Carr,E.P. Turk +1 more
TL;DR: A detailed histological analysis of two cases of splenosis, including one of the largest nodules to be reported, suggests that histological examination may have a limited role in the distinction between these two conditions.

Splenosis presenting as occult gastrointestinal bleeding.
William M. Sikov,Fred J. Schiffman,Michael Weaver,Jacob Dyckman,Richard S. Shulman,Philip Torgan +5 more
TL;DR: While in most cases splenules cause no symptoms, splenosis must be considered in the differential diagnosis of previously splenectomized patients who present with unexplained masses or occult bleeding, but even patients with documentedsplenosis should be considered functionally hyposplenic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolated splenic metastasis of sigmoid colon cancer: a case report.
TL;DR: Clinicians are recommended to pay close attention to the spleen for the early diagnosis of isolated splenic metastasis when routinely evaluating abdominal CT scans and abdominal ultrasonography following curative resection of primary colorectal cancer.

Splenosis. A cause of massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
Basile Rm,Morales Jm,Zupanec R +2 more
TL;DR: Splenosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal hemorrhage in patients who have experienced prior splenic trauma or splenectomy, and is aware of no reports of massive, acute intestinal bleeding caused by this condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
CT and MRI of intraperitoneal splenosis.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings of two cases of subdiaphragmatic intraperitoneal splenosis located along the hepatic surface, mimicking neoplastic lesions.
