Abstract
Splenosis is the autotransposition of splenic tissue and is rarely enc ountered by the gynecologist. Most patients with splenosis are asympto matic but may present with gynecologic symptoms. There are few reports in the gynecologic literature describing the management of pelvic spl enosis. This paper reports the first case of laparoscopic management o f pelvic splenosis.
