Objective: To evaluate the contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CEMRI) features of intrahepatic splenosis (IHS).
Methods & Materials: Five patients (three males and two females, median age, 44 years; range,32-73 years) with seven IHSs were retrieved from the database of our hospital from March 2012 to October 2021. All IHSs were confirmed histologically by surgery.

We report the case of a 62-year-old Caucasian male patient who presented with epigastric pain to our outpatient clinic. On abdominal ultrasound we detected a 26 mm oval hypoechoic lesion in segment 2 of the left liver lobe. Performing contrast-enhanced ultrasound this lesion showed an arterial hypervascularization with centripetal filling and a spoke wheel pattern.

Rationale: Hepatic splenosis or heterotopic auto-transplantation of spleen in the liver usually occurs after either spleen trauma or surgery. It is of great importance for the differential diagnosis of hepatic splenosis and other liver tumors because surgery is usually not needed if a diagnosis of splenosis is confirmed.
Patient Concerns: Multiple hepatic masses were revealed by grayscale ultrasound in a 55-year-old man complaining of persistent colic in the upper abdomen after greasy food.

Objective: Leiomyosarcoma and ovarian cancer are often diagnosed late due to the absence of initial symptoms. Patients seek help when abdominal distension occurs; this is associated with pelvic tumor and carcinomatosis. Initial imaging often reveals pelvic tumors with diffuse abdominal nodules; however, this imaging could be misleading, such as in the cases of splenosis.

Multiple focal liver lesions were incidentally detected in a patient screened by ultrasound for a recent diagnosis of lower limb deep vein thrombosis, for which anticoagulation had been initiated. Past medical history reported a post-traumatic splenectomy 15 years before. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) showed a subcapsular lesion in liver segment 5 consistent with focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and multiple other nodules, with a different pattern from the former, judged as probable hepatic adenomas by MRI but probable hemangiomas by CEUS (hyperenhancement in the late phase).
