Article information

La esplenosis es la implantación de tejido esplénico, funcionalmente activo, heterotópico sobre serosas, cavidad peritoneal y distintos órganos sólidos como pulmón, riñón o hígado. La presencia de nódulos pulmonares subpleurales, asociados o no a nódulos intraabdominales, junto con la existencia de antecedentes de esplenectomía parcial o total, traumática o no, deben hacer sospechar la presencia de una esplenosis intratorácica.

Se presenta el caso de un paciente esplenectomizado hace 16 años por lesiones esplénicas en un accidente de tráfico, que presenta nódulos subpleurales de aspecto inespecífico.

Palabras clave:
esplenosis
esplenosis intratorácica

Splenosis is the implantation of functionally active splenic tissue in the serous membranes of the peritoneal cavity and different solid organs such as the lungs, kidneys, or liver. The presence of subpleural pulmonary nodules, whether associated or not to intraabdominal nodules, should raise the diagnostic possibility of intrathoracic splenosis in patients with a history of partial or total splenectomy and/or trauma affecting the spleen.

We report the case of a patient splenectomized 16 years prior for splenic lesions suffered in a traffic accident who presented with subpleural nodules with a nonspecific appearance.

Key words:
splenosis
intrathoracic splenosis
