Contribution of Tc-99m RBC SPECT/CT in Intrahepatic and Peritoneal Splenosis Mimicking Malignancy
Journal Title: International Journal of Radiology and Radiation Oncology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Splenosis is the autoimplantation of ectopic spleen tissue resulting heterotopic auto-transplantation and implantation of splenic tissue after splenic ruptur caused by trauma or splenectomy. It is a benign condition that often mimics malignancy in healthy patients or peritoneal metastases in cancer patients. We report a case of diffuse peritoneal splenosis mimicking neoplastic lesions.
