Intra-abdominal splenosis: how clinical history and imaging features averted an invasive procedure for tissue diagnosis.

Abstract
A 47-year-old man with a past history of splenectomy was referred for biopsy of a liver lesion. A subsequent (99m)technetium heat-damaged red cell scan helped make the diagnosis of splenosis and averted a biopsy procedure.
