  • Abstract
    We report a case of combined subcutaneous, intrathoracic, and abdominal splenosis who presented with attacks of _ushing, 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 based lesions in the left hemi-thorax along with nodular lesions in subcutaneous tissue of the left chest wall suggested possible adrenal malignancy with multiple metastases. Histopathologic examination demonstrated benign lesions of ectopic splenic tissue.
