Abstract
Pelvic splenosis is a post-traumatic spleen autotransplantation, which can mimic various gynaecological diseases. A case of a 39-year-old woman, who underwent partial splenectomy because of a road accident in her childhood, currently presenting with abdominal pain and suspected corpus luteus torsion. Diagnostic laparoscopy was conducted which ruled out twisted ovary. This confirmed disseminated pelvic splenosis as a coincidental finding. Following this procedure, the abdominal pain ceased. The current report aims to raise the awareness of splenosis so that it may be appropriately recognized and differentiated from other pelvic findings.Entities:
