| Core Tip |
Intrahepatic splenosis (HS) is a rare benign condition that may mimic malignant liver lesions on conventional imaging. We report the case of a 61-year-old man with a prior splenectomy in whom a hepatic lesion suspicious for hepatocellular carcinoma led to surgical resection. Histopathological examination ultimately confirmed HS. This case emphasizes the diagnostic challenges and common pitfalls associated with this condition and underscores the importance of considering HS in the differential diagnosis of focal liver lesions. |
