Resumo
Ectopic splenic tissue results from the autotransplantation and seeding of splenic tissue, often secondary to splenic trauma or splenectomy. Splenic implantations occur mostly as nodules within the peritoneal cavity and constitute an incidental finding at necropsy, surgery, or imaging investigations. This report addresses a case of hemoperitoneum associated with hepatic splenosis in a dog that became ill several years after splenic trauma.(AU)
