Abstract :
Splenosis is implantation of the splenic tissue in the abdominal region or elsewhere in the body as a consequence of trauma or splenectomy, which might mimic intra-abdominal involvement of several malignancies. This case report presents a patient with abdominal implants without 18F-FDG accumulation confirmed to be splenosis by Tc-99m nano-colloid scintigraphy.
