Splenosis of the mesoappendix: case report and review of the literature

M al-Ahmadi et al. 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.
