Acquired ectopic splenic tissue is called splenosis, which is common after the history of trauma or surgical exploration. We present a rare case of intrahepatic splenosis in 36-year-old male patient mimicking a liver neoplasm on imaging however presented with left flank pain for 5 months and had remote history of splenectomy after splenic rupture from trauma. We discuss various imaging modalities and the role of various magnetic resonance imaging sequences and nuclear medicine examination. We also discuss the differentiating features to be kept to make the correct diagnosis along with a brief review of literature. We mentioned signal intensities of splenic lesions and normal signal intensity of spleen in different magnetic resonance imaging sequences and with high suspicion how we can diagnose splenosis and avoid unnecessary biopsy and its result related stress.
获得性异位脾组织称为脾组织植入,常见于有创伤史或手术探查史之后。我们报告了一例罕见的肝内脾组织植入病例,患者为一名36岁男性,影像学上酷似肝脏肿瘤,然而其左侧胁腹疼痛5个月,有外伤后脾破裂行脾切除术的既往史。我们讨论了各种成像方式以及各种磁共振成像序列和核医学检查的作用。我们还讨论了做出正确诊断时应具备的鉴别特征,并简要回顾了文献。我们提到了不同磁共振成像序列中脾脏病变的信号强度以及脾脏的正常信号强度,以及高度怀疑时如何诊断脾组织植入并避免不必要的活检及其相关的结果压力。
