摘要: Hepatic splenosis is an uncommon condition that occurs following traumatic splenic rupture or splenectomy. The case of a 41-year-old male patient with multiple isolated liver masses indistinguishable from primary and metastatic tumours reported. Following laparotomy, the lesions were resected histopathology confirmed diagnosis hepatic splenosis. At 18-month follow-up examination, no abnormalities in routine blood test, function, computed tomography (CT) scanning observed. After review literature, diagnostic criteria for are proposed: (1) history trauma splenectomy; (2) lesion(s) surrounding rim, particularly near capsule identified by CT scanning; (3) findings on superparamagnetic iron oxide-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging technetium-99m heat-damaged red cell (4) histopathological (needle biopsy surgical pathology). process also suspect when 1 2 met; make criterion 3 confirm 4 met. Laparotomy recommended either treatment invasive procedures necessary.
