| Core Tip |
Intrahepatic splenosis is rare. On imaging it is difficult to distinguish splenosis from hepatic malignancy, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma. We report a case of a patient with intrahepatic and intra-abdominal splenosis diagnosed using scintigraphy with technetium-99m heat-denatured red blood cells. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first case where hepatic splenosis was confirmed without using invasive procedures such as biopsy or surgery. Splenosis should be considered as an important differential for a hepatic lesion in a patient with a history of trauma or splenectomy, particularly if the lesion is located near the capsule and associated with multiple abdominal deposits. |
