A wandering spleen detected by 99mTc-denatured RBC scan
A 23 day old infant patient underwent 99mTc-denatured RBC scanning for locating possible ectopic spleen in our department. The scan showed no tracer activity in normal splenic bed in the left upper quadrant and an ectopic spleen was shown on the right side of abdomen inferior to the liver. 99mTc-denatured RBC scan is an easy and available method for splenic localization i...
متن کاملIntrathoracic splenosis presenting as persistent chest pain
Thoracic splenosis is a rare entity resulting from splenic and diaphragmatic injury. Patients remain asymptomatic, and surgical intervention is not indicated in the majority of cases. We report a case of a 50-year-old male with a history of splenectomy due to a gunshot wound 30 years previously who presented with vague, progressively worsening chest pain. He was found to have a large intrathora...
متن کاملIntrathoracic splenosis - lesson learned: a case report.
BACKGROUND Intrathoracic splenosis presents an extremely rare thoracic lesion occurring after a simultaneous rupture of the spleen and diaphragm as a consequence of heterotopic autotransplantation and implantation of splenic tissue. Intrathoracic splenosis is usually an asymptomatic, incidental finding, which should be ideally managed without surgical intervention. CASE PRESENTATION We presen...
متن کاملCombined subcutaneous, intrathoracic and abdominal splenosis.
We report a case of combined subcutaneous, intrathoracic, and abdominal splenosis who presented with attacks of flushing, tachycardia and vague abdominal pain. The patient's past medical history included a splenectomy due to abdominal trauma and years later, a lung lobectomy due to recurrent pneumonia. An enhancing solid mass adjacent to the upper pole of the left kidney and nodular pleural bas...
متن کامل[Non-invasive diagnosis of posttraumatic thoracic splenosis].
Intrathoracic splenosis is a generally asymptomatic entity incidentally diagnosed after the completion of an Rx, CT scan or MRI for another reason. The performance of scintigraphy with (99m)Tc-labelled heat-denatured erythrocytes allows the noninvasive diagnosis of this entity and avoids more aggressive diagnostic techniques such as FNAP or thoracotomy. Because this splenic tissue may be partia...
