Simultaneous peritoneal and retroperitoneal splenosis mimics metastatic right adrenal mass

INTRODUCTION: Right retroperitoneal splenosis is rare with few reported cases. We report, here, the case of simultaneous peritoneal and retroperitoneal splenosis mimics metastatic right adrenal mass. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 28-year-old man who had previously undergone post traumatic splenectomy at c...

description INTRODUCTION: Right retroperitoneal splenosis is rare with few reported cases. We report, here, the case of simultaneous peritoneal and retroperitoneal splenosis mimics metastatic right adrenal mass. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 28-year-old man who had previously undergone post traumatic splenectomy at childhood and subsequently presented with an large incidental non-functioning right adrenal mass with presence of extra-hepatic peritoneal focal lesion diagnosed as metastasis by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Adrenalectomy with metatstectomy was performed, and both masses were identified to be splenosis. DISCUSSION: Adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) is defined as asymptomatic masses >1 cm. on cross-sectional imaging studies. AIs have significant malignant potential for masses > 6 cm. Splenosis are found most frequently in the left retroperitoneum in cases involving retroperitoneal splenosis. However, right retroperitoneal splenosis have been reported. Traditional imaging techniques cannot differentiate splenosis from malignancy. CONCLUSION: Large right adrenal incidentalomas present with other abdominal, peritoneal masses could be splenosis in patient following post-traumatic splenectomy.
