Splenosis of the mesoappendix: case report and review of the literature
J R Coll Surg Edinb.
1998 Jun.
Abstract
The development of splenosis is a known consequence of splenic rupture. A case is presented of acute appendicitis in a patient with a past history of abdominal trauma who required laparotomy for unknown reasons. During appendicectomy a mass was found in the mesoappendix which proved to be evidence of splenosis.
