Abstract

A 37-year-old male patient presented complaining of right flank pain. As an incidental finding on CT, the spleen was not visualized and there were multiple rounded peritoneal tissue nodules, radiologically pattern is mostly suggestive of splenosis. Lung bases showed 2 right lower lung lobe nodules. A dedicated chest CT scan revealed few other pulmonary and pleural nodules. A 99mTc heat damaged denatured red blood cells SPECT CT scan was performed, which revealed right thoracic splenosis, a rare entity to be seen at that location.
