“…demonstrated that 99mTc-RBC scan is more sensitive and specific when compared with 99mTc sulfur colloid one in detecting splenosis, with a difference in terms of sensitivity reaching 32% (13,14). This behavior renders these radionuclide scans the current diagnostic methods of choice.…”

Thoracic splenosis (TS) is a condition of autotransplantation of splenic tissue into the pleural cavity after thoraco-abdominal trauma, with diaphragmatic and spleen injury. It is usually asymptomatic and discovered as an incidental finding at imaging performed for other reasons. Its differential diagnosis regards different benign and malignant conditions and should be discerned avoiding invasive procedures. We report a case of thoracic mass associated with pleural nodules mimicking malignancy in a patient with resected breast cancer for whom a diagnosis of TS was made early by using non-invasive methods. Briefly, we review the literature data on TS, comment concisely the possible implications of using invasive procedures and describe the current non-invasive techniques available. Furthermore, we highlight the importance of an accurate medical history collection, the role of the multidisciplinary board and their impact on treatment decision making. Finally, we conclude that clinical information and imaging would be the discriminating factors to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures.

“…4,14 In cases of suspected splenosis, scintigraphy with red blood cells labeled with 99mTc has proven to be a useful technique with high sensitivity and specificity. 2,16 However, it has the disadvantage of poor anatomical location. This has been resolved with the addition to clinical practice of techniques of image fusion (SPECT-CT) that add anatomical accuracy to the localization of the foci of splenosis (increasing the specificity of the test) and will result in an improved approach to surgery.…”

“…Motten once diagnosed an accessory spleen in a patient with super-renal mass using abdominal angiography avoiding surgical treatment [9]. If the diagnosis is still uncertain after Page 2 of 3 CT and MRI imaging, radionuclide imaging can be performed which is considered the most useful method in evaluating the accessory spleen [10].…”
