Splenosis simulating an intramural gastric mass.
A case of splenosis simulating a fundal intramural gastric mass in a patient with leiomyoblastoma is presented. Splenosis should be included in the list of differential possibilities of intramural or exogastric lesions when previous splenectomy has been performed, either secondary to trauma or surgical laceration of the splenic capsule. The absence of the spleen makes splenosis a diagnostic consideration.
