Core Tip	The appearance of ectopic splenic tissue in the abdomen and other body cavities can mimic that of solid tissue tumours and metastases. Splenosis may occur following blunt abdominal trauma during which a splenic injury may or may not have been identified and is rarely symptomatic. Being aware of this unusual differential diagnosis may avoid anxiety for patients and allow early diagnosis. Nuclear medicine scintigraphy with Tc-99m is the imaging modality of choice to confirm splenunculi.
