| Popis: | We describe a case of a 38-year-old male with a remote history of motor vehicle trauma who presented to the emergency department with 1-week history of progressively worsening abdominal pain localized to the epigastric region. Patient history included splenectomy. Computerized tomography demonstrated multiple masses in the left pleural space as well as masses continuous with the diaphragm and abdominal wall in the left upper quadrant. In addition, a lobulated mass was identified in the right upper quadrant along the anterior right hepatic lobe. A diaphragmatic defect was noted containing splenic tissue. A diagnosis of splenosis was made. Disseminated splenosis presenting in both the thorax and abdomen is rare and poorly documented. This case serves to further illuminate this condition.
