We present a case of thoracic splenosis diagnosed by tru-cut needle biopsy, which yielded histologically normal splenic tissue. This is the first report of a diagnosis of thoracic splenosis by needle biopsy. The patient had a history characteristic of thoracic splenosis. Autotransplanted splenic tissue functions and may provide some defense against serious infections. A conservative approach to diagnosis offers the advantages of preserving splenic tissue and avoiding thoracotomy.
我们报告一例经粗针活检诊断为胸内脾组织植入的病例,活检获得了组织学上正常的脾组织。这是首例通过针吸活检诊断胸内脾组织植入的报告。该患者具有胸内脾组织植入的典型病史。自体移植的脾组织具有功能,可能为抵御严重感染提供一定防御作用。保守的诊断方法具有保留脾组织和避免开胸手术的优点。
