The authors report one case of peritoneal splenosis. The patient submitted to a gastrectomy had a past history of traumatic rupture of the spleen. The morphologic and immunologic aspects of splenosis are discussed. The value of imaging splenic tissue by scynthscanning are pointed out in basis of infection prophylaxis.
