Abstract
The authors present a case of a young female with extensive pelvic splenosis, which was complicated by torsion of one of the splenosis nodules operated by laparoscopy. She has been followed during several years. The diagnosis was made on the basis of the history, imaging (ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, and Technetium 99m-labeled embrittled red blood cell scans), and blood workup. The diagnosis of splenosis can be made via complications such as torsion, infarction, hemorrhage, or most often incidentally. The treatment without symptoms is abstention.
