Abstract

Intrathoracic splenosis is a rare sequel of left thoracoabdominal injury. A case simulating esophageal leiomyoma is presented. As in most earlier cases, the diagnosis was established only at thoracotomy. As splenosis is asymptomatic and may have some beneficial immunologic effects, surgical removal is inadvisable. The 23 previously published cases and the possibility of nonsurgical diagnosis are discussed.

摘要

胸腔内脾组织异位于是左胸腹联合伤后罕见的后遗症。本文报道了一例酷似食管平滑肌瘤的病例。和大多数早期病例一样，该病例仅在开胸手术时才得以确诊。由于脾组织异位通常无症状，而且可能具有一定的免疫益处，因此不建议手术切除。文中还讨论了此前发表的23例病例以及非手术诊断的可能性。
