“…About three-quarters of the patients studied here had multiple nodules on imaging compared with a single nodule, and while the majority of cases were asymptomatic, a small number of patients did report thoracic pain and haemoptysis 9. Since thoracic splenosis was first documented in the literature through a case series in 1937, there have been only four documented cases in cancer patients 10–13. In each of the four cases, all patients had a history of splenic injury secondary to trauma.…”

SummarySplenosis is the implantation of ectopic splenic tissue after splenic injury or splenectomy. Signs and symptoms of splenosis vary based on anatomic location; however, it remains asymptomatic in many cases. On radiographic imaging, splenosis often appears as a soft tissue mass and can be diagnosed using heat-damaged red blood cell scintigraphy, a non-invasive imaging modality. Radiographic findings of splenosis on imaging may be suspicious for metastatic disease in patients with known solid organ tumours. It is important to have a high degree of suspicion for splenosis with known history of splenic trauma or splenectomy in order to avoid invasive procedures and guide appropriate management.

“…Other rare tumours or tumour‐like lesions do happen in the pleura and awareness of their existence is the key to diagnosis. Thus, thoracic splenosis after spleen trauma can mimic metastatic disease, while endosalpingiosis, salpingeal‐type epithelium in ectopic positions, can present as pleural cystic lesion . Synovial sarcoma, usually involving the lung along with the pleura, presents as a large mass usually in adults with a median age of 40 years and shows a monophasic morphology in this localization .…”

Pleural cavity has an interesting physiology that when impaired gives rise to pleural effusions a rather frequent problem in respiratory medicine practice. Their aetiology varies widely producing distinct pathological lesions with different prognosis and treatment. The basic morphological features of pleural diseases, neoplastic and nonneoplastic, will be analysed in this review with an emphasis to their pathophysiology, differential diagnosis and clinicopathological correlations.
