Widespread Abdominal Splenosis Diagnosed During Cesarean Section: A Case Report
Journal Title: HASEKİ TIP BÜLTENİ - Year 2019, Vol 57, Issue 3
Abstract
Splenosis is an autotransplantation of splenic tissue that usually occurs after surgery or traumatic rupture of the spleen. It is not a pathological process. In this case, the patient underwent cesarean section, and during cesarean section, there were small masses detected on the small intestines and peritoneum. Multiple biopsies were taken from the masses and histopathological analysis was compatible with abdominal splenosis.
