Ectopic spleen:

spleen in the pelvis       ultrasound images of pelvic spleen

This patient was a young male child who presented with pain in the left iliac fossa. Ultrasound images reveal absence of the spleen and left kidney in left hypochondrium. A structure showing echogenicity and texture similiar to the spleen was seen in left iliac fossa next to the urinary bladder. These ultrasound images are diagnostic of pelvic spleen (ectopic spleen). The left kidney was absent in this case. The right kidney appears mildly enlarged and is seen in the right hypochondrium. Images taken using the HS2000 (Honda Electronics). Sonographic images courtessy of Dr. Tariq Mahmood, Pakistan.

Splenosis:

autotransplantation of spleen

This patient had splenic rupture following severe trauma, for which splenectomy was done. Subsequent ultrasound imaging showed a large, rounded, well defined mass lesion in the left hypochondrium close to the left kidney. The lesion measured about 4 cms. in size. These ultrasound images suggest splenosis. Splenosis is the autotransplantaion of splenic tissue following splenic injury.
