Splenosis in a 62-year-old male patient with a history of splenic trauma and splenectomy. Axial contrast enhanced CT images (a, b) show two splenic fragments (thick arrow) on the left upper quadrant (a) and a nodular mass (arrow) with a heterogenous contrast enhancement pattern as splenic tissue posterior to the liver and kidney (b). Axial T2 weighted image (c) demonstrates similar signal intensity of both the nodular mass (arrow) and inferior pole of the splenic fragments (thick arrow). Technetium-99 m posterior scintigraphy image (d) also shows uptake of the nodular mass (arrow) as splenic tissues on the left (thick arrow).
