Abstract
|
|
|
Splenosis is an ectopic implantation of splenic tissue after splenic injury or splenectomy. These splenic implants may
be located throughout the abdominal cavity and may be misdiagnosed as a malignancy or tumorous condition. Here, we
report a case of splenosis that was initially diagnosed as carcinomatosis from colon cancer in a patient with colon polyps
that had undergone explo-laparotomy.
