This article does not deal with the general problem of splenosis, but with the pathology of splenic nodules implanted in the peritoneum. This condition is uncommon, and chiefly hematological and infectious in the index case. Although this issue is debated, functional activity of these nodules is substantiated, leading to consider therapeutical applications in some exceptional cases.
