Thoracic splenosis is an uncommon side effect of thoracoabdominal trauma involving injury to the diaphragm and spleen. Only 20 patients with a similar problem have been reported previously.
Two patients with thoracic splenosis were studied.
One of the patients had undergone thoracotomy for resection of a "pulmonary nodule". The other remains under observation.
Presence of a pulmonary nodule in a patient with history of injury to the diaphragm and spleen should arouse suspicion of splenosis. Appropriate investigation may prevent an unnecessary and potentially harmful operation.
胸腔内脾组织植入是胸腹外伤累及膈肌和脾脏损伤后的一种罕见副作用。此前仅有20例有类似问题的患者被报道。
对两名胸腔内脾组织植入患者进行了研究。
其中一名患者因切除“肺结节”接受了开胸手术。另一名患者仍在观察中。
有膈肌和脾脏损伤史的患者出现肺结节应怀疑有脾组织植入。适当的检查可避免不必要且可能有害的手术。
