Splenosis in the abdominal category may occur in up to 65% of traumatic ruptures of the spleen. [3] Splenosis in the thoracic cavity is rarer, because it requires the simultaneous rupture of the diaphragm. The implantation of spleen tissue under the skin may result from abdominal surgery or gunshot wounds. Splenosis of the brain or liver is ...
Radiologists must be aware of these conditions in order to avoid misdiagnosing patients. Examples of such lesions are: pleural plaques, thoracic splenosis, catamenial pneumothorax, pleural pseudotumor, diffuse pleural thickening, diffuse pulmonary lymphangiomatosis and Erdheim–Chester disease. [1]
Splenosis is a condition where foci of splenic tissue undergo autotransplantation, most often following physical trauma or splenectomy. Displaced tissue fragments can implant on well vascularized surfaces in the abdominal cavity, or, if the diaphragmatic barrier is broken, the thorax. [13] [14]
Splenosis is a condition where displaced pieces of splenic tissue (often following trauma or splenectomy) autotransplant in the abdominal cavity as accessory spleens. [ 29 ] Polysplenia is a congenital disease manifested by multiple small accessory spleens, [ 30 ] rather than a single, full-sized, normal spleen.
The following is a partial list of the "C" codes for Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), as defined by the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM).. This list continues the information at List of MeSH codes (C20).
This was performed after splenosis was understood; splenosis is the spontaneous reimplantation of splenic tissue elsewhere in the body (usually the abdomen) after it has broken off from the spleen due to trauma or surgery.
Laryngotracheal stenosis is an umbrella term for a wide and heterogeneous group of very rare conditions. The population incidence of adult post-intubation laryngotracheal stenosis which is the commonest benign sub-type of this condition is approximately 1 in 200,000 adults per year. [10]
Thoracic splanchnic nerves are splanchnic nerves that arise from the sympathetic trunk in the thorax and travel inferiorly to provide sympathetic supply to the abdomen.
