Background Most patients with splenosis have no clinical symptoms and do not need intervention. Hematospermia and testicular pain occurred in this patient, which was considered to be related to the huge pelvic implantation of the spleen, which was relatively rare in clinical practice, so we hereby report this case. Case presentation A 28-year-old male patient with a history of splenectomy was admitted to the Urology Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University with the chief complaint of "Hematospermia for 1 month and testicular pain for 2 days". Preoperative imaging examination indicated pelvic mass. Combined with the patient's history of splenectomy for splenic rupture in childhood, the possibility of pelvic spleen implantation was considered. Laparoscopic pelvic exploration was performed. During the operation, multiple grayish-brown nodular tissues were observed in the space between the posterior bladder and rectum, and a lobulated grayish-brown mass with a diameter of about 9 cm was observed in the posterior upper part of the prostate gland and seminal vesicle at the pelvic floor. Two nodular tissues were removed intraoperatively and sent for quick frozen pathology, which was reported as spleen tissue. Further resection of the huge mass was performed, and the postoperative pathological results were consistent with the diagnosis of splenosis. Conclusion We report a rare case of splenosis presenting with hemospermia and testicular pain.

Aim: to present a review of the literature on post-traumatic splenosis of different localization, as well as to complete the presentation of a rare clinical case of multiple post-traumatic intra-abdominal splenosis in combination with type 2 macroamylasemia, chronic pancreatitis in a 27-year-old woman.Main results. The literature data of the pathogenesis and classification of splenosis are considered. Close attention is paid to the clinical manifestations of post-traumatic splenosis: the results of imaging studies in intrathoracic, disseminated abdominal, intrahepatic and intrapancreatic forms of splenosis are presented.The end of the description of a rare clinical case of progressive multiple post-traumatic intra-abdominal splenosis in combination with type 2 macroamylasemia and chronic pancreatitis is presented. The process of diagnostic search, differential diagnosis is described, the controversial points to the patient’s management, the possibility and expediency of pregnancy are considered.Conclusion. The exclusivity of this clinical case requires further dynamic monitoring, especially in the possible pregnancy.
