Abstract

Aim: to present a review of the literature on post-traumatic splenosis of different localization, as well as to complete the presentation of a rare clinical case of multiple post-traumatic intra-abdominal splenosis in combination with type 2 macroamylasemia, chronic pancreatitis in a 27-year-old woman.

Main results. The literature data of the pathogenesis and classification of splenosis are considered. Close attention is paid to the clinical manifestations of post-traumatic splenosis: the results of imaging studies in intrathoracic, disseminated abdominal, intrahepatic and intrapancreatic forms of splenosis are presented.

The end of the description of a rare clinical case of progressive multiple post-traumatic intra-abdominal splenosis in combination with type 2 macroamylasemia and chronic pancreatitis is presented. The process of diagnostic search, differential diagnosis is described, the controversial points to the patient’s management, the possibility and expediency of pregnancy are considered.

Conclusion. The exclusivity of this clinical case requires further dynamic monitoring, especially in the possible pregnancy.
