We present a case of a 31-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with a history of abdominal pain localized to the lower abdomen. The patient had undergone splenectomy 2 years ago for splenic injury following a road traffic accident. Computerized tomography showed multiple well-defined, homogeneously enhancing soft tissue density nodules of varying sizes distributed throughout the abdomen and pelvis. A diagnosis of splenosis was made based on imaging findings and history. Abdominal splenosis is an uncommon entity of which radiologists need to be aware, and this case serves to shed further light on this condition.
