This case report demonstrates that Tc-99m labeled heat-damaged red blood cell single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (spleen SPECT/CT) and F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT (FDG PET/CT) could noninvasively confirm splenosis mimicking peritoneal seeding of advanced sigmoid colon cancer with hepatic metastases, and played a crucial role in determining the treatment plan.
