Abstract

The diagnosis of thoracic splenosis should be considered in patients who present with multiple pleural-based masses on chest x-ray or CT in which a history of significant trauma (usually requiring splenectomy) can be elicited. The diagnosis can be confirmed with noninvasive radionuclide studies, thereby obviating the need for additional diagnostic studies, including open thoracotomy and biopsy.
