CTICasesSplenosis Post-Gunshot Wound
Imaging findings
Multiple stable, soft tissue nodules were present along the left posterior pleura, unchanged over several years since 2013. Associated findings included multiple rib deformities from prior fractures with sutures, and a partially resected spleen with residual splenic tissue.
Key takeaways
This case demonstrates splenosis, a consequence of prior trauma (gunshot wound) with splenic injury, presenting as stable pleural nodules that should not be mistaken for malignancy, especially with a history of splenectomy and trauma.
