It is usually asymptomatic and has been mistaken for intraabdominal pathologies, such as endometriosis and lymphoma. The important thing for diagnosis is perfect anamnesis and appropriate conventional imaging. Although there are different imaging modalities, selective spleen scintigraphy is the most sensitive and specific.Case Report: We present here a case of intraabdominal splenosis of a 29-year-old woman in whom splenectomy had been performed 12 years ago after a traffic accident, and a review of the literature is performed.
